It’s nice to have a walk-in primary care clinic in your area. You’re able to go right in for one-the-spot care when you need it or ongoing care for as long as you need it, and anyone of any age in your family is welcome. It’s like having a minor emergency and healthcare center in one, right in your community. For patients in the Portland area, Columbia Clinic Urgent Care is your go-to primary care clinic.

What does a primary care clinic do?


You can go to a primary care clinic whenever you need primary healthcare. This type of healthcare is basic, fundamental healthcare for the treatment, management, and prevention of common health conditions. Primary care physicians can diagnose and treat minor ailments like the flu, or heal injuries like minor sprains. They can also provide some care for patients with debilitating conditions like diabetes or heart conditions, and provide referrals to specialists when necessary. Also, physical exams like annual physicals and sports physicals can be performed by primary care physicians. Patients of any age are welcome at primary care clinics, including children.

One of the qualities that distinguishes Columbia Clinic from other primary care clinics is that we’re also an urgent care, walk-in clinic. This allows us to provide primary care on a walk-in basis so our patients won’t have to wait for an appointment.

How is primary care different from secondary care, emergency care, and urgent care?


With primary care, patients get the most fundamental, least specialized level of healthcare. Sometimes a primary care physician won’t be able to provide the level of care a particular patient requires, like mental health services or care for cancer patients. In these instances, the physician will refer the patient to a secondary care professional (a specialist).

Some health situations are especially serious and life-threatening, requiring the expertise of an emergency care professional. In these situations, you must call 911 and go to the emergency room (ER). Even if you’re not sure whether the situation is life-threatening, you must go to the ER.

However, if you’re absolutely sure the situation is not life-threatening, then you can go to an urgent care clinic instead. Urgent care is able to handle minor emergencies, and with Columbia Clinic Urgent Care, we’re also able to provide primary care!
