Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
