Walk-in: no need to make appointment and can go right away, line up is needed.
Family doc: even appointment is made, some waiting time is still needed. Even worse, sometime they said they're full for the day and you have to go another day.
Walk-in: no previous record for your first visit.
Family doc: theoretically they should read your previous record before seeing you each time. But many of them didn't do that and act dumb in front of you each time like you're the first time being there.
For urgent case, go to emergency la. (Well, still need to wait for long in most cases though ;b)

I am lucky that my family doctor is NOTHING like that... LOL
I never wait more than 15 min at my family doc with my appointment time and she sure remembers me. Sometimes, we actually talk about non-medical stuff during my visit.
Well, have a family doctor is better in the long run.
When you have problem, it's much easier to get your family doctor to get you a referral to a specialist vs a walk-in clinic.
Also... it's hard to get a walk-in clinic doc to write an ICBC injury report for you. Even when you are acutally in pain.
I was hit by a car while cycling, and the doctor at walk-in clinic actual told me to get out, and doesn't want to see me. (Didn't even brother to ask how are you). Sad.
I have to asked him to get me a shot ( you know, the kind when you cuts on you skin). I thought that is a normal procedure
