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?
