Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
