 We offer quality, convenient, affordable urgent medical care for patients seeking immediate treatment for minor illnesses and injuries. Our services include a variety of diagnostic and screening services including basic labs and x-rays. Patients are typically evaluated, examined and treated in less than an hour. And, because private clinics do not carry the expensive costs of emergency rooms, a visit to urgent care for stitches will generally be a lot less costly than a visit to the emergency room.
Any accident or illness that may lead to loss of life or limb, serious medical complications or permanent disability should be evaluated in the emergency department of a local hospital. If a client at the urgent care needs evaluation at the hospital, we will make arrangements for transportation.
