About US
Urgent Care is the delivery of medical services outside of the hospital emergency department and is generally administered on a walk-in or unscheduled basis. Ever gotten a small cut on your finger while cooking? Treat it at home. Are you or a loved one having signs or symptoms of a heart attack? Go to the ER. Everything in between is Urgent care. Our Urgent Care center treats patients who are in need of immediate medical attention and choose to bypass a visit to the emergency room because of cost or ailments that are not serious enough to require hospital emergency services. Urgent care is not meant to substitute a necessary visit to the ER or primary care physician, but we provide an alternative to these with the ability to provide excellent treatment for most illnesses and injuries.
