Urgent Care Q&A
What Is Urgent Care?
Urgent care is the immediate care for a condition, illness, or injury that is not life-threatening. Urgent care deals with health problems that require immediate attention. Unlike a routine visit to a primary care physician, urgent care centers offer rapid medical services, usually during extended hours and on weekends. This convenience allows people to quickly seek treatment for non-life-threatening conditions, including minor injuries, infections, and illnesses, bridging the gap between primary care and emergency services.
When Might I Need Urgent Care?
You might need urgent care when you experience non-life-threatening medical issues that require prompt attention.
Here are some situations where urgent care is appropriate:
- Fevers
- Colds and flu
- Vomiting and diarrhea
- Stomach flu and food poisoning
- Allergies and allergic reactions
- Laryngitis and tonsillitis
- Asthma and wheezing
- Migraines and headaches
- Fractured toes or fingers
- Ear infections

Should I Go to Urgent Care or the Emergency Room?
When dealing with a medical situation, it is important to assess the severity of your symptoms. Below are some guidelines to help you decide whether to seek urgent care or head to the emergency room:
Urgent Care:
- Examples: Minor injuries (sprains, cuts), common illnesses (sore throat, ear infection), and minor allergic reactions.
- Convenient for after-hours care when your primary doctor’s office is closed.
- Not for severe symptoms like chest pain or difficulty breathing.
Emergency Room (ER):
- Examples: Chest pain, severe bleeding, difficulty breathing, or major trauma.
- Staffed 24/7 with specialized medical teams.
- Go directly to the ER if you experience severe symptoms.
