What Can Be Done at an Urgent Care Clinic? 

An urgent care clinic is a convenient place to turn if you need walk-in care for an acute, non-life-threatening illness or injury. Unlike primary care practices that require appointments and are often booked for days in advance, urgent care clinics treat patients on a walk-in basis and are often open during extended hours. They’re also a much more sensible and affordable alternative to bustling emergency rooms in non-life-threatening scenarios.

​

Here are a few examples of health concerns that can be treated at an urgent care clinic:

​

• Allergy symptoms

• Urinary tract infections  

• Cold and flu symptoms

• Strep throat

• Dehydration 

• Sinus infections

• Pink eye (conjunctivitis)

• Ear pain

• Nausea and vomiting

• Heartburn

• Sprains and strains

• Mild burns and rashes

• Cuts and wounds with controlled bleeding
