5 Questions to Ask Your Urgent Care Clinic

If you are experiencing any injury or illness that requires same-day medical attention but is not a life-threatening medical emergency, an urgent care clinic is most likely your best available option! While most primary care clinics require appointments to be made in advance, urgent care clinics accept walk-in appointments.

As such, if you have a non-life-threatening injury or illness that requires urgent medical attention, all you need to do is visit an urgent care clinic, and a medical doctor or practitioner will see you in short order. Since urgent care clinics are unequipped to handle life-threatening medical emergencies, they typically have shorter waiting times than emergency rooms, as they can see most patients on a first-come, first-served basis.

With that being said, urgent care clinics conduct patient evaluations when individuals first arrive at the clinic to determine if they should be seen by a medical professional as soon as they arrive or if they are fit to wait until they are next in line.

Most urgent care clinics have medical doctors, nurse practitioners, physician’s assistants, and other medical professionals on staff. With that in mind, you will likely see any one of such providers when you visit an urgent care clinic, depending on the services or treatment you require.

Our providers at Fast Aid Urgent Care include a board-certified internal medicine doctor, nurse practitioners, and physician’s assistants.
