Urgent Care Q & A

What is urgent care?

Urgent care is for those times when you can’t wait several days, or weeks, to see a doctor. Urgent care differs from emergency care, which is geared more toward medical emergencies that require immediate intervention because of situations that pose a severe health risk.

As family medicine providers, the doctors at Express Family Clinic understand that health care concerns arise that have an impact on your quality of life and you can’t wait for a regular appointment. Dr. Modi and Dr. Parihar are available for walk-in urgent care needs and are open Monday-Friday from 8am to 7pm and on Saturday from 9am to 12pm.

You don’t need an appointment and can directly come on in if you need immediate help, but it’s always good to call ahead if you can.

What are the most common reasons to seek urgent care?

The medical team at Express Family Clinic is equipped to handle most of your urgent care needs, including:

Flu
Ear infections
Fever
Sprains, tears, and minor fractures
Asthma attacks
Lacerations that need stitches
Urinary tract infections
Skin rashes or infections
Gastrointestinal issues

If your doctor finds that your situation is too severe for urgent care, they guide you to the nearest emergency room. As well, if you have an issue that requires more specialized care, such as a severe fracture, your doctor ensures that you’re stable and refers you to a specialist.

What is the difference between urgent care and emergency care?

Both of these types of care are designed to deliver immediate medical attention, but if you’re experiencing any of the following, you should call 911 or get to an emergency room:

Chest pain
Difficulty breathing
Severe pain, particularly in the abdomen
Sudden fainting, loss of balance, weakness, or paralysis
Sudden vision changes
Infants with fevers over 100℉
Severe fevers in adults, especially if accompanied by a rash
Serious burns
Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy

When it comes to your health, you should err on the side of caution, and you know your body best. Call Express Family Clinic for guidance if you have any questions about where you should go to receive appropriate treatment.
