Jonathan: How's he doing, Doc?

Doctor: Well, nothing seems to be broken. We could get an x-ray just to be safe.

Jonathan: Um, I think we'll just take him on home. Isn't it just take him home?

Doctor: It's your choice, but I want to see him back again in a week.

Yes. However, this kind of formulation is fairly common in informal spoken English.
