What issues can be treated at urgent care?

Urgent care is the right place to go for medical needs that require prompt attention but aren’t life-threatening. The doctors at Primary Care Walk-In Clinic are skilled in diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions, including:

• Allergic reactions
• Burns, scrapes, cuts
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Pneumonia
• Flu
• Bronchitis
• COVID-19
• Sprains
• Minor fractures
• Fever
• Sore or strep throat
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Vomiting
• Dehydration
• Asthma flare-ups

You also have immediate access to diagnostic tests such as X-rays and lab tests. You don’t need a referral, and results are quick, so that the team can determine next steps and a care plan for you. 

When should you choose urgent care instead of the emergency room?

If you or a loved one is experiencing chest pain, severe shortness of breath, sudden slurred speech, heavy bleeding, head trauma, or a serious allergic reaction, those are emergencies that require immediate care at an emergency room. Urgent care is your best option when the condition is pressing, but isn’t critical. 

Does urgent care require an appointment?

Not at either of the Primary Care Walk-In Clinic locations. The team of board-certified physicians and nurse practitioners stands ready to treat walk-ins with urgent needs each day. To expedite your same-day care, you can call to let the team know you’re coming, but it’s not required. 

Also, to move things along quickly, it’s helpful if you take a few important documents with you:

• Your photo ID
• Your insurance card
• A list of current medications
• Medical records

The team guides you through intake and assessment so that you can get timely treatment, no appointment needed.

What are the benefits of urgent care?

Urgent care offers faster, more affordable treatment for conditions that aren’t life-threatening. Emergency rooms prioritize patients based on severity, so if you have a fever, a deep cut, or an infection, you may have to wait a long time while people with more serious conditions are treated first.

At Primary Care Walk-In Clinic, urgent care patients are evaluated and treated promptly for conditions that need attention but aren’t emergencies. You receive timely care without the extended emergency room wait times or expensive bills.
