FAQs
What is Urgent Care?
Urgent Care is an unscheduled doctor’s visit when you cannot wait for a scheduled appointment and can treat less serious illnesses and injuries like a cold, influenza, minor cuts and abrasions, and sprains.
When to use Urgent Care instead of an Emergency Room?
Because hospital emergency rooms can be crowded, Urgent Care services provide an easier way to get care if your condition is not life-threatening.
