Why choose our urgent care?

Our urgent care clinic offers you and your family:

• Extended weekday and weekend hours – especially helpful when your primary care doctor can’t squeeze you in or isn’t available after hours
• Walk-in clinic convenience – no need for an appointment
• No costly ER fees – urgent care copayment amounts that are usually less than ER copays

The clinic also provides:

• On-site lab services

What conditions can be treated at urgent care?

Urgent care clinics are a great option when you need medical help for non-emergency issues, such as:

• Cold and flu symptoms, including fever and chills, cough, headache and sore throat
• Sinus infections and strep throat
• Sprains and minor bone fractures
• Ear and eye infections
• Small cuts, minor burns or skin rashes
• Urinary tract, pelvic and other minor infections
• Animal or insect bites

When should you go to the ER instead?

Emergency rooms are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week for life-threatening emergencies, traumas and major medical conditions.

Symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, uncontrollable bleeding, loss of consciousness, sudden changes in vision and coughing or vomiting blood – to name a few important ones – are signs you need to get to an ER.

Don’t take any chances – in case of an emergency, call 911 immediately.
