When patients think of urgent care, they understandably envision cuts that require stitches or sudden illnesses that need immediate treatment. However, you may not be aware that your urgent care clinic can also provide a range of primary care services, including vaccinations, medication refills, and more. If you don’t have a primary care physician or your physician is unavailable, we’d be happy to discuss your concerns and provide you with the care that you deserve.

Routine Vaccinations 

Routine vaccinations are an important part of preventive healthcare that ensures you’re protected from illnesses that can threaten your health. We administer common vaccines, such as the flu shot and tetanus shot, with no appointment necessary. 

Are you a frequent traveler, or planning a vacation soon? Ask us about necessary travel vaccines, which vary depending on your destination. We can vaccinate against a variety of common diseases contracted abroad. 

Medication Refills

Are you on an important medication, but can’t get in to see your primary care physician before you run out? We can help! Walk into our urgent care clinic, and our expert physicians can assist you with a medication refill as a stopgap until you can visit your regular doctor. You deserve to receive the care you need.

IV Hydration or Medication

Did you know that our bodies are approximately 60% water? Because our bodies are so dependent on water, dehydration can be a dangerous and even deadly condition. People may become severely dehydrated due to illness, injury, overexertion, or extreme heat. Dehydration can happen year-round, but it’s especially risky during the summer, particularly for vulnerable children and seniors. 

For severe dehydration, IV hydration may be necessary to help you replenish your fluids. At our clinic, we offer this essential service. Learn to recognize the signs of dehydration, and visit us if you have the following symptoms:

• Dizziness.
• Rapid breathing.
• Dry skin.
• Fatigue.
• Dry eyes, with no tears.
• Hands and feet that are cool to the touch or blotchy.
• Dark yellow urine with a strong smell.
• Less frequent urination.

Sports Physicals

Physical exams are mandatory for a wide variety of school and club sports, and they help ensure that everyone can play safely. At a sports physical, we ask questions to evaluate your medical history, record your height and weight, check your blood pressure and heart rate, listen to your heart and lungs, test your vision, and examine your muscles, bones, and joints. Based on the information you provide and the results of our examination, we evaluate your health and your ability to safely participate in your sport. 

If your child requires a physical exam to participate in sports, there’s no need to wait for an appointment with your primary care physician. When you walk into one of our clinic locations, we can perform a comprehensive physical exam to ensure your health and safety before you get in the game.

Tuberculosis Testing

Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious, highly infectious disease that primarily affects the lungs and respiratory system. Although the frequency of TB has been greatly reduced in the United States due to a variety of public health measures and improvements in treatment options, we have seen a resurgence in cases in recent years, and there are various countries where TB is still common.

If you believe you’ve been exposed to someone with TB, have symptoms of TB, or are required to be tested, we perform TB testing at our clinics. Simply walk into your nearest urgent care center and let us help you find peace of mind or provide the necessary treatment.

Specialty Referrals

When primary care isn’t enough to resolve your health problem, you may need to see a professional who specializes in your area of concern. Many insurance providers require a referral to see a specialist, and we’re pleased to offer this service to ensure that you receive the care you need. Whether you already have a specialist in mind or you need a suggestion from our roster of experienced specialists, we can help.

Medical Second Opinions

Your health is a complex, ever-changing set of factors. As a result, diagnosis isn’t always a straightforward process, especially for chronic or rare conditions. If you’ve been struggling with a health issue and you don’t feel that your initial diagnosis captures your experience, a second medical opinion may help to clarify your condition. Our physicians are compassionate and experienced in treating a wide variety of ailments. We’d be happy to offer you our assessment and help you find the answers and relief you deserve.
