It's Saturday morning and your child has been up all night with an earache and fever.  Now you both are exhausted and you have to do something.  Your options include going to the ER and being stuck with a large bill or waiting for you doctor's office to open on Monday.  Now, there is another option, Boyett Health Services on Military Street in Hamilton is announcing the opening of a weekend clinic that will be staffed Saturday 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM and Sunday 12:00 PM until 5:00 PM.

Dr Brent Boyett explains, "The effort is designed to extend access to care for two groups of people.  The first is the patient who works, travels or goes to school during the week and can't afford to take time off to go to the doctor for routine care.  The second is the patient who develops an acute problem on the weekend that won't wait until Monday".

As an organization, Boyett Health Services conducts surveys to find out what is wanted and needed in our community. This is an effort to answer the call for more convenient access to care.  Historically, people have been forced to see the doctor on the doctor's terms.  This is often not conducive to the productive demands of the working patient or to the active student who is under great pressure to handle personal matters like health care on their own time. As a result many patients neglect the care that they need. Expensive Emergency room visits have not proven to be the answer and small problems tend to grow into big problems when access to care is not available. Call today for an appointment.
