• Q. What makes urgent care different from my primary physician?

    A. Urgent care is aimed at providing attention to immediate medical illnesses and injuries that cannot wait for an appointment. With your permission, our urgent care, walk-in clinics work collaboratively with your primary care physician to ensure that your doctor knows why you were seen by our doctors, particularly during times when s/he was not available. Most primary care physicians promote urgent care for after hour treatment and weekend treatment when their offices are closed and they don't want their patients waiting long hours in an emergency room. Our urgent care centers offer a viable option for medical treatment by administering in house treatment for issues ranging from dehydration to minor strains, sprains, fractures, burns, and cuts.

  • Q. Who benefits from urgent care the most?

    A. Families, especially on-the-go moms, and dads, who have children that get sick, all benefit from our convenient, quality urgent care model. We even treat senior citizens and work to ensure that their managing provider is up-to-date with our treatment of acute symptoms. Athletes and runners often use our urgent care because of our ability to care for sprains, dehydration, and other sports-related injuries in a fast manner. Urgent Care sees ages 3 and up. Primary Care sees patients 10 and up.
     

  • Q. Do I need to make an appointment?

    A. In our urgent care centers no appointment is ever necessary, just walk in whenever is the most convenient for you. If your medical matter requires follow up by your primary care or by a specialist, we are efficient in setting those appointments for you.

  • Q. I can't afford health insurance right now. How much will it cost me to be seen?

     A. Our basic visit is $150.00. If you need more extension testing or treatment, additional fees may apply- due upon completion of visit.

  • Q. What kind of co-pay or deductible is required when I visit Immediate Care?

    A. You pay the same copay at our clinics as you would when visiting a primary care doctor. We do not charge emergency rooms fees because we are an office setting. Portions of your deductibles may be collected based on your insurance policy.

  • Q. I know I will be seen more quickly at Immediate Care but when should I go to the ER?
