Gunwant Dhaliwal is pleased to announce his ongoing commitment to ensuring that medical care is made available to the widest number of individuals in his Florida community. For many years, Gunwant Dhaliwal has been able to provide high-quality emergency and urgent medical care to residents of the New Port Richey and Spring Hill areas in his role as a doctor at the Primary Walk-In Clinic.

Many individuals who should seek medical treatment to not do so, at great risk to their long-term health and even their lives,” commented Gunwant Dhaliwal on the issue of medical care. “Not having insurance is, of course, a key factor in many of these decisions. But also, some individuals have significant co-pays for emergency room visits that keep them from seeking care, do not have a primary care doctor, or have a primary care doctor who has a busy schedule or is on vacation. That’s where walk-in clinics come in.”

Working in a walk-in clinic has given Gunwant Dhaliwal the opportunity to serve the needs of his community by holding a much-needed role in the medical field. According to Gunwant Dhaliwal, walk-in clinics straddle the boundary between private practices and primary care offices, and hospitals and emergency rooms. This allows patients to come in for urgent care without having to make a longer term appointment, but is both more affordable and less intimidating than going to a hospital.

“There are many situations in which a primary care office is not enough for the problem at hand, but a trip to the emergency room may be more than what is needed,” remarked Gunwant Dhaliwal. “Or, individuals may put off going to the doctor because they have not established care with a primary provider, and do not want to make a trip to the hospital. In either case, I and my colleagues at the Primary Walk-In Clinic, and similar clinics throughout the state and the country, are able to provide that care and ensure that those individuals do not put their health at stake.”

Gunwant Dhaliwal highly recommends that individuals take advantage of their local walk-in clinics, and looks forward to meeting new patients at the Primary Walk-In Clinic.
