Frequently asked questions

Our goal is simple; we strive to provide a high level of easily accessible and affordable medical care to patients. Here are some of the frequently asked questions our clients have:

What Can Be Done at an Urgent Care Clinic?

An urgent care clinic is a convenient place to turn if you need walk-in care for an acute, non-life-threatening illness or injury. Unlike primary care practices that require appointments and are often booked for days in advance, urgent care clinics treat patients on a walk-in basis and are often open during extended hours. They’re also a much more sensible and affordable alternative to bustling emergency rooms in non-life-threatening scenarios.

Here are a few examples of health concerns that can be treated at an urgent care clinic:

  • Allergy symptoms
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Cold and flu symptoms
  • Strep throat
  • Dehydration
  • Sinus infections
  • Pink eye (conjunctivitis)
  • Ear pain
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Heartburn
  • Sprains and strains
  • Mild burns and rashes
  • Cuts and wounds with controlled bleeding
When Should I Go To Urgent Care?

Many people face this question on a daily basis. As a general rule of thumb, individuals who fear loss of life, limb, or vision should promptly call 911 or go to the nearest ER. It’s also important to seek emergency care if you or someone around you experiences any of the following:

  • Loss of consciousness
  • Sudden dizziness or confusion
  • Sudden changes in vision
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Persistent or severe chest pain
  • A wound with uncontrolled bleeding
  • An injury with a visible deformity, such as exposed bone or muscle
  • A near-drowning incident, car accident, or traumatic injury, such as a gunshot wound
  • A fever higher than 104 degrees Fahrenheit (102.2 degrees for young children)
Is Urgent Care Cheaper Than the Primary Care Doctor’s Office?

So, you’ve woken up with a nasty cold and aren’t sure where to seek care. Your main options are the local urgent care clinic and your primary care doctor’s office, but which choice is more affordable?

Despite urgent care’s reputation for being more expensive than primary care, the costs of these services are usually quite similar, especially for individuals with insurance. Costs will vary by provider, though, so you may want to check what urgent care clinics and primary care centers accept your insurance before your visit.
