Urgent care is a term for treatment for an illness or injury that needs attention but which is not a true medical emergency. Please read further to understand how to tell the difference between an urgent situation and a life-threatening one.
Seemingly small injuries and illnesses will be examined by our urgent care physicians. If greater care is needed, our staff will direct patients to the proper healthcare provider, or, if it is a true emergency, we will transfer patients directly to a hospital emergency room for further treatment.
