As a provider of urgent care, we treat patients who need immediate medical services. Families visit us from throughout the area when they're sick, injured or worried about their health and want quick care that does not require a visit to the emergency room.
The following are 10 reasons patients visit us for urgent care:
The flu can be physically devastating. Anyone who is suffered from the flu understands how horribly uncomfortable it can be. Patients who visit us right away after exhibiting flu-like symptoms can receive medication. If they test positive for the flu, we can prescribe medication that will shorten the duration of their symptoms so patients can get back to life like normal.
Anyone with a sore throat who also has a fever, feels weak or generally unwell may be suffering from strep. Strep throat is a common condition that we can treat with antibiotics. Getting on antibiotics quickly is the best way to expedite recovery.
Patients who feel that they have cold-like symptoms for a long time may have mono. Usually, this is also accompanied by periods of intense fatigue. This condition is most common amongst high school and college students, but we recommend anyone who has been unwell for long periods of time to visit us for an exam.
Pink eye is incredibly contagious. It is critical to visit the doctor for urgent care and to receive medication as quickly as possible. It is also important not to touch the eye and to spread these germs.
Someone who is concerned that they may have an STI should visit us for urgent care. We can conduct an examination, run the appropriate tests and make the diagnosis. This is important for treatment and for preventing the infection from spreading further.
Ear infections are most common in young children and can be incredibly painful. They typically have other symptoms accompanying the ear pain, such as fever and runny nose. If the pediatrician cannot see your child fast enough, it is best to visit us for urgent care, so they can begin recovering.
People who are injured on the job, at home or in a car wreck need to visit the doctor right away to ensure that there are no injuries that require urgent medical attention. Waiting at the emergency room can sometimes take too long and be uncomfortable. In that case, patients visit our office for treatment instead. We do not require an appointment and still see accident victims faster than they are normally seen at the hospital.
Sometimes patients visit our office because they are feeling unwell, are not sure why and are looking for help recovering. When they do not have time to schedule a doctor appointment far in advance, visiting our office can be far more convenient.
We treat patients who have suffered a muscle sprain or strain when doing something like playing intramural sports.
Migraines can be frightening and debilitating. Anyone who is suffering from such physical pain that their headaches are making it difficult to be in the public, around light and noise or their migraines are accompanied by symptoms like nausea and dizziness should visit us for care right away.
These are just a few of the reasons that patients throughout the area visit our office for urgent care. Regardless of what condition you are suffering from, we can provide treatment quickly and without an advanced appointment. Call or stop by our office today.
