Acute Care Services

At LiveYoung Medical Centre, we know that illnesses and injuries don’t always wait for an appointment. That’s why our Acute Care services in Milton provide same‑day, walk‑in treatment for urgent but non‑emergency concerns. Our goal is to help you get the right care quickly, without unnecessary trips to the emergency room.

From a professional standpoint, our acute care team is equipped to manage a wide range of conditions, including:

Infections – strep throat, ear infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), skin infections, and pneumonia (mild cases).

Minor injuries – sprains, strains, cuts, pulled muscles, minor fractures, and tendonitis (with assessments and referrals for X-rays when needed).

Asthma & allergies – asthma flare-ups, mild allergic reactions, insect bites, stings, or hives.

Sudden illness – fever, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, food poisoning, dehydration, migraines, or stomach flu.

Eye & ear problems – pink eye (conjunctivitis), styes, earaches, earwax removal, or eye irritation.

Skin conditions – rashes, eczema flares, fungal infections, minor burns, sunburns, and abscesses.

Wound care – stitches, wound dressing, and suture or staple removal.

Sexual & urinary health – painful urination, genital discomfort, and STD testing or treatment.

Musculoskeletal pain – back pain, neck pain, and joint pain that needs urgent evaluation.

All visits with our doctors are covered by OHIP, meaning you can access acute care without worrying about extra costs. We also maintain close collaboration with local hospitals and specialists, ensuring that if your condition requires emergency or specialized care, we provide a seamless referral process.

From a patient’s perspective, this means you can walk into our clinic with confidence knowing that you’ll be seen quickly by a doctor who listens and acts right away. Instead of waiting hours in a crowded emergency department, you can get timely care in a comfortable clinic setting. Our physicians will diagnose the problem, provide treatment such as prescriptions or wound care, and explain everything in clear, simple terms before you leave.

We also link acute care with our other services. For example, if an infection reveals an underlying condition like diabetes, we connect you with our Chronic Disease Management program. If your concern affects your child, we coordinate with our Infant & Child Health services. By integrating care across our clinic,
