What is an Urgent Care Center?

Urgent Care Center is a walk in medical center where you will be seen without any appointment. We are dedicated to providing you high quality medical care in situations when you need it the most. Our endevaour is to minimize wait times usually encountered in the ER and we work with primary care physicians in the community to provide care if they are unable to see you.

When should I go to an Urgent Care Center?

• You can't get a timely appointment with your physician
• You do not have time to wait in a hospital emergency room
• Your regular clinic is closed or your physician is on vacation.

What services are available at Urgent Care Center?
Although, sometimes it may seem like a trip to the hospital is in order, the emergency room is not always the best answer. You may be in for a long wait while more critical patients are treated and, depending on your health plan, it could cost you more money.

When your injury or illness is urgent, but not life threatening. Typical examples include cuts, wounds, sprains, injury from falls, minor burns, cold, cough, flu, diarrhea, infections and illnesses. For a minor illness or injury that needs immediate medical attention, Urgent Care Center is your better option.

Also your Urgent Care Center copayment is lower than a traditional Emergency room.

How can I decide if I should go to the Emergency Room or Urgent Care?

For all severe conditions like chest pain, stroke-like symptoms, sudden dizziness, sudden weakness or loss of balance, fainting, seizures, excessive bleeding, severe burns, excessive vomiting and vomiting blood, severe abdominal pain, call 911 or go to the nearest Emergency room.
