Frequently Asked Questions
What types of tests are available at urgent care?
On-site diagnostic capabilities typically include rapid strep, flu, and COVID testing, urinalysis, basic blood work, and X-ray imaging. More complex testing may require referral to an external laboratory or specialist.
When should I visit urgent care instead of the emergency room?
Urgent care is appropriate for conditions that need prompt attention but are not life-threatening, such as sprains, minor cuts, ear infections, fever, or urinary tract infections. Chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of stroke, or severe injuries should be directed to an emergency room.
Do I need an appointment for urgent care?
Walk-in appointments are typically accepted. Calling ahead or using an online check-in system can reduce your wait time, but it is not required. Patients with more serious presentations may be seen ahead of those with minor concerns.
