Do you have an ache or pain that’s getting to you, but your regular
doctor can’t fit you into their schedule that same day? Urgent care
is the convenient alternative to seeing your primary care doctor for unplanned
doctor’s visits when you have an urgent but non-life-threatening
medical concern. Walk-ins are welcome, so no appointments are necessary.
That means you can simply walk into one of our urgent care Med-Stop locations
and check-in at the front desk to be seen.
Common patient complaints we treat at our urgent care clinic include:
Simple wound repair
Broken bones
Simple burns
Sprains
Fevers
Animal bites
Rashes
Sore throats
Sinus infections
Flu/Covid
UTI
Pink Eye
Other minor injuries or ailments
Should I Go to Urgent Care or the Emergency Room?
While you might think they do the same thing, urgent care clinics are not
the same as an Emergency Department in a hospital. That’s because
Emergency Departments are equipped to handle life-threatening medical
emergencies, while urgent care is not. However, urgent care is often the
better, more affordable alternative to emergency room treatment if your
injury or ailment is non-life-threatening.
Examples of potentially life-threatening health emergencies better suited
to Emergency Department care include heart attacks, strokes, severe bleeding,
breathing difficulties, and open bone fractures, among others. When in
doubt, go to the Emergency Room for care.
