Urgent Care Q & A
What Kinds of Acute Illnesses Do You Treat?
We diagnose and treat a wide variety of urgent care and acute problems, including patients with respiratory illnesses like coughs, colds, croup, flu, asthma as well as ear and throat infections. We can provide breathing treatments via nebulizer. We treat patients with rashes and skin infections, as well as stomach illnesses like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. We see patients for urinary and vaginal infections and sexually transmitted diseases, like gonorrhea and chlamydia as well. We can also place stitches in small cuts and wounds. We see patients for minor trauma including strains and sprains and if needed can help expedite referrals to orthopedic specialists.
What If I Need Antibiotics or Another Medication?
We have a small pharmacy on site and have many medications available for you to start treatment right away. If you think you have a sexually transmitted disease, like gonorrhea or chlamydia, we can administer treatment on site as well. We can also fax or call in prescriptions to your pharmacy of choice as well.
What Types of Situations Are Not Appropriate for an Urgent Care Appointment?
True emergencies are not appropriate for an urgent care appointment. If you have chest pain, call 911 and seek care at an emergency room. If you suspect that a person has had a stroke, call 911. If you have major trauma, again, call 911. The emergency department of a hospital has specialized equipment that helps healthcare professionals accurately diagnose and treat life-threatening conditions such as chest pain. When it comes to major trauma, more is involved than just stopping the bleeding and suturing wounds. An X-ray might be needed to determine if any bone damage is involved. Overnight hospitalization may be needed for monitoring. True emergencies are best handled at an emergency room.
