If you find yourself requiring medical assistance, waiting several days to get an appointment with your general practitioner, or visiting an emergency room for immediate care are not your only healthcare options. You can simply walk into one of the conveniently located urgent care clinics in your area, or register online and wait your turn at home until you receive a call for your consultation.
Urgent care clinics (or “walk-in clinics”) are equipped to cater to a large spectrum of non-life-threatening conditions or non-serious medical cases. The spectrum of care at urgent cares range from the treatment of minor to severe conditions and can include vaccinations, lab routines, treatment of burns, infections, bites, sprains, allergies, infections, and more.
How are the services that urgent care clinics provide patients different from a doctor’s office or emergency room?
Here is a quick look at the services offered at an urgent care clinic to help you decide which way to go in a time of need.
What Makes Urgent Care Clinics Different Than Other Medical Care Providers
Urgent Care clinics offer well-trained and qualified doctors and physician assistants to care for patients with minor to severe conditions that need to be treated immediately. These clinics, in many ways, provide a level of care that can be found in most hospitals and emergency rooms.
The key difference with urgent care clinics involves convenience –they are usually open longer than doctor’s offices, they offer same-day appointments with shorter wait times, they offer consultations through telemedicine (“telehealth”, “teledoc”), and offer a much lower cost of treatment than a standalone or hospital emergency room.
It is important to keep in mind, however, that for all life-threatening conditions such as a heart attack or car accident, you should call 911 or rush to an emergency room.
