Urgent care refers to medical care for conditions that are not life-threatening but still need to be treated promptly. Urgent care centers are typically open longer hours than regular doctors’ offices and can provide treatment for a wide range of conditions, such as sprains, fractures, cuts, infections, and minor burns.

They are often a more convenient and affordable option than going to the emergency room for non-emergency conditions. If you have a condition that needs prompt attention but is not life-threatening, you may want to consider our urgent care option. Our providers can help address minor health concerns and provide a wide array of treatment options, including prescriptions, prescription refills, and referrals for testing.
