Urgent Care

Urgent care provides medical evaluation and treatment for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries that need attention sooner than a routine doctor’s visit. It is not a replacement for the emergency room and does not treat severe or life-threatening conditions.

Services We Offer

  • Sick visits (cold/flu symptoms, sore throat, ear pain)
  • Minor injury evaluation (sprains, strains, minor cuts)
  • Basic in-office testing when appropriate (e.g., rapid tests)

When Should You See a Specialist?

  • You have symptoms that need same-day attention (fever, sore throat, worsening cough)
  • You have a minor injury (sprain, strain, minor cut) and want an evaluation
  • You need quick guidance and treatment, and your primary care office isn’t available
Call 911 or go to the ER for chest pain, trouble breathing, signs of stroke, severe bleeding, major injuries, or any life-threatening symptoms.

FAQs About Pain Medicine

Q1: What’s the difference between urgent care and the emergency room?
A1: Urgent care is for non-life-threatening issues that still need prompt evaluation, like minor injuries or common infections. The ER is for severe or potentially life-threatening symptoms.

Q2: Do I need an appointment?
A2: Many urgent care visits can be handled as walk-in or same-day scheduling, depending on availability. Calling ahead can help confirm hours and reduce wait time.

Q3: Will you prescribe antibiotics?
A3: If your clinician determines an antibiotic is appropriate (for example, for certain bacterial infections), they may prescribe one. Many illnesses are viral and don’t benefit from antibiotics.
