Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Will urgent care share my visit information with my regular doctor?
Most urgent care practices provide a visit summary that can be shared with your primary care provider upon request, helping to maintain continuity of your medical record.
