Urgent Care Q &A
What is urgent care?
Urgent care is a medical service that provides immediate care for injuries, illnesses, and symptoms. Care Fast Urgent Care providers have experience in a wide range of medical disciplines and use their expertise to provide fast and convenient urgent care services.
If you need urgent care, you don’t need to make an appointment before you arrive at Care Fast Urgent Care. Instead, you can walk in at any time while the clinic is open and see a provider with minimal time in the waiting room.
You might seek urgent care when your primary physician is unavailable or if the clinic that you usually attend for care is closed. You can get personalized treatment in urgent care during holidays, weekends, and outside of regular business hours.
Should I visit an urgent care center or the emergency room?
There are some similarities between urgent care and the emergency room, but the two are different, and you should generally attend them for different reasons.
You should forgo urgent care and go straight to the emergency room if your illness or injury can permanently impair you without treatment or if there is a risk of death.
If your ailment isn’t life-threatening and won’t have any long-term ramifications without immediate medical attention, you can go to urgent care for evaluation and treatment instead of the emergency room.
Urgent care often has less wait time than the emergency room, especially if your injury or illness doesn’t need immediate attention.
