Looking for Urgent Care in Orleans? Here’s What to Know

Looking for Urgent Care in Orleans or Ottawa? Here’s What to Know  Many people searching for “urgent care” in Orleans and Ottawa are looking for exactly what we offer: same-day, non-emergency medical care without the wait of a hospital emergency room. Walk-in clinics like Centrum handle most of the same acute conditions — infections, minor injuries, flu, STIs, prescription renewals, ear/nose/throat issues, and more — and typically allow a doctor to see patients faster than urgent care centres, which often fill up quickly.  If your condition is not life-threatening and you don’t need an ER, Centrum’s walk-in clinic is likely your fastest option to see a doctor quickly in Orleans, no appointment needed.  What we treat: mild-to-moderate illnesses and injuries, prescription renewals, emergency contraception, PrEP and DoxyPEP, STI care, ear/nose/throat concerns, and other non-emergency issues.  What requires the ER: chest pain, difficulty breathing, major trauma, loss of consciousness, stroke symptoms, severe bleeding, or anything life-threatening. Please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department for those.

This walk-in clinic is sponsored and operated by centrum pharmacy as a service for the community

We encourage you to fill your prescriptions at our pharmacy — every purchase helps us support local programs and initiatives, giving back to the community that we care so much about.
