When Should You Visit Urgent Care?

Urgent care is designed for illnesses and injuries that need prompt medical attention but are not life-threatening. If your symptoms cannot wait for a primary care appointment but do not require emergency medical services, urgent care is often the right place to start.

Our team commonly evaluates conditions such as:

Cold, flu, and COVID-19 symptoms

Sprains and other joint injuries

Cuts that may require stitches

Ear pain and pink eye

Sore throat, sinus infections, and suspected strep throat

Food poisoning and stomach illnesses

Suspected minor fractures

Minor burns and skin rashes

Mild allergic reactions

Wounds requiring cleaning or follow-up care

Below, you'll find more information about some of the common illnesses and injuries we evaluate and treat.

Illnesses We Commonly Evaluate & Treat

Many illnesses share similar symptoms, making it difficult to know what's causing you to feel sick. Our providers evaluate your symptoms, perform a physical examination, and recommend testing when appropriate to identify the underlying cause and determine the most appropriate treatment.

Cold, Flu & COVID Care

Cold, flu, and COVID-19 often cause similar symptoms, including cough, congestion, fever, sore throat, and fatigue. We evaluate your symptoms, recommend testing when appropriate, and provide treatment recommendations based on your diagnosis.

Sore Throat, Sinus & Strep Care

A sore throat, facial pressure, congestion, or swollen glands may be caused by several different conditions. We help determine whether your symptoms are related to a viral illness, sinus infection, strep throat, or another cause before recommending treatment.

Food Poisoning

Food poisoning can develop suddenly and lead to nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, and dehydration. Our providers evaluate the severity of your symptoms and recommend treatment and hydration guidance based on your condition.

Allergies, Ear Pain & Pink Eye

Eye irritation, ear discomfort, congestion, and allergy symptoms can interfere with your daily routine and may have several possible causes. We evaluate your symptoms and recommend treatment based on the underlying condition.

Injuries We Commonly Evaluate & Treat

Whether you've been injured during sports, at work, or while going about your daily activities, prompt evaluation can help determine the severity of the injury and guide appropriate treatment. Our team treats many common non-emergency injuries to help support a safe recovery.

Sprains, Fractures & Joint Pain

Falls, twisting injuries, and overuse can lead to swelling, discomfort, and limited movement. We evaluate acute joint injuries, provide initial treatment when appropriate, and recommend additional imaging or specialist care if needed.

Cuts, Burns & Rashes

Minor skin injuries and skin conditions can range from simple to more serious. We evaluate cuts, burns, and rashes, provide wound care and laceration repair when appropriate, and recommend treatment based on your diagnosis.

Injury & Wound Care

From minor wounds to everyday injuries, timely medical attention can help reduce the risk of infection and promote proper healing. Our providers assess your injury, provide appropriate treatment, and explain how to care for it during recovery.

Our Approach to Your Care

At Doctors Urgent Care, every visit begins with understanding what's causing your symptoms, not simply treating them based on assumptions.

Our approach includes:

Prompt Evaluation

Walk in whenever you need care or reserve your appointment online. Our team works efficiently, so you can be evaluated as quickly as possible.

Physician-Led Urgent Care

Every patient benefits from physician oversight, ensuring experienced clinical decision-making and personalized care.

Treatment Based on Your Diagnosis

Many illnesses and injuries have similar symptoms. We perform a thorough evaluation and recommend diagnostic testing when appropriate before developing a treatment plan tailored to your condition.

Guidance Beyond Your Visit

If your condition requires additional testing, follow-up care, or referral to a specialist or emergency department, we'll help you understand the next steps and where to receive the care you need.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Our goal is to make your visit as straightforward and efficient as possible while ensuring you receive the care that's appropriate for your condition.

Your visit may include:

A discussion of your symptoms or injury

A physical examination

Diagnostic testing when appropriate

A personalized treatment plan

Follow-up recommendations if additional care is needed

Home care instructions to support recovery

Whether you're visiting for an illness or an injury, we'll take the time to answer your questions and explain your treatment options.

When to Seek Emergency Care

Some medical conditions require immediate emergency care rather than urgent care.

Go directly to the nearest emergency room or call 911 if you experience:

Chest pain

Severe head injuries

Heavy or uncontrolled bleeding

Open fractures or obvious bone deformities

Major trauma from a motor vehicle accident or a significant fall

Difficulty breathing

Severe burns

Loss of consciousness

Signs of a stroke, such as sudden weakness or difficulty speaking
