Primary care clinics are open to the general public, they were created as a way of a reliable and affordable medical care with its main focus on treating minor medical issues like illnesses or injuries that are not life-sustaining or limb-sustaining, but that still require medical attention. Many are unsure on what an primary care clinic provides that differs from other medical care services like Urgent care, walk-in clinic, and emergency room.

Franklin Primary Care specializes in primary care and urgent care services. Physicians can help in situations that warrant urgent care or emergency care visit. These visits may consist of flu-like symptoms, testing for COVID-19, broken bones that need to be put in a cast, burns that need to be treated, and many other issues that need treatment.

The fantastic benefit of having urgent care and primary care together is an urgent care does not need an appointment. If your primary care provider is busy, you know you can still be taken care of by another physician for whatever you may be dealing with. This makes it a convenient option for many, and not only does convenience make our clinic the first choice for many of our patients, but the affordability of a physician seeing you at a primary care as well.

We accept cash-pay patients as well as patients with in-network insurance. We have a list of insurance companies we are in-network with available here.

Primary care offers patients the ability to see a regular doctor consistently for their health and wellness needs. Your health is a priority, visiting your primary care doctor consistently can provide many benefits including:

• Accurate diagnosis of any signs and symptoms you may be experiencing
• Costs are lower on average with less time waiting to see a physician in comparison to an emergency room
• You can trust your primary care provider as they know your medical history better than others
• Able to refer you to a specialist if needed
