Re: [Talk-us] When is your doctor a clinic?

Brian, That's my US American understanding of a clinic. A clinic is not a hospital and not a "doctors office". But If I cannot get into my doctor or if an individual does not need to go to the emergency room of a hospital, then a clinic is a place to go. For example, Honor Health is part of a

Re: [Talk-us] When is your doctor a clinic?

I think the same rule about MD oversight applies where I live, but I have never seen an MD at a clinic. PAs and RNs are more than enough for me. I don't need credentials as long as there is competence =) For sure, we have those clusters of health services, although I've always seen that as a

Re: [Talk-us] When is your doctor a clinic?

When I hear “clinic” in reference to a healthcare facility, I think of “urgent care” clinics, and I think there are about six urgent care clinics within a 20 minute drive of my local hospital. These are usually staffed with nurses and Physicians Assistants rather than MDs. It’s pretty common in

German native speaker who has lived in the US for a good while and works in health research. Jmapb's definition sounds pretty good to me. I think the "accept walk-ins" may not be a great distinguisher. I can think of several clinics here that don't accept walk-ins, and my small dentist practice

Hi, hunting down spam in OSM I often stumble over medical establishments in the US that have maximum-length description tags exhorting just how beatiful your smile will be after your visit to that dentist, etc.; I also find many objects that sound like a simple doctor's practice but are entered
