Allergic reactions

Childhood illnesses 

Colds 

Ear infections 

Eye infections 

Immigration Physicals

People prefer urgent care for many reasons:

  • Appointments are not required in most cases
  • Operation hours extend outside of normal business hours, on weekends and holidays
  • Quick, reliable medical care at your convenience

Urgent care is not a substitute for emergency care. You should use a hospital’s emergency department for very serious or life-threatening problems. If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, do not wait! Call 911 or get to the nearest hospital emergency room:

  • Chest pain
  • Severe abdominal pain
  • Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
  • Sudden dizziness, weakness or loss of coordination or balance
  • Sudden blurred vision
  • Numbness in the face, arm or leg
  • Sudden, severe headache
  • Deep cuts or bleeding that will not stop
  • Coughing up or vomiting blood
  • Severe burns
  • Seizures
