Our Urgent Care Services Include:

“Sometimes life is unpredictable and health care can’t wait. If you have been bitten by a dog, injured your back, sprained your ankle or  cut your finger deep enough to need stitches, you can’t wait until next week (or even tomorrow) for an appointment. You need urgent care“.

What is urgent care?

Urgent CareIt’s easy to get confused between urgent care and emergency care. Urgent medical conditions are any injuries or illnesses that are not life-threatening but require treatment within 24 hours- they simply can’t wait until the next day. Examples of medical conditions that require urgent care include urinary tract infections, acute sprains or strains, cuts requiring sutures (provided bleeding is controlled) and mild to moderate asthma.

Medical emergencies, on the other hand, are life-threatening and require immediate treatment to prevent death or permanent disability. Examples include chest pain that is severe and lasts longer than a couple of minutes, uncontrolled bleeding, moderate to severe burns, signs or symptoms of stroke or serious injuries to the neck, head or back. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, you need to go to the nearest emergency room. If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, don’t drive- call an ambulance.
