An emergency room is the right place to be for life threatening injuries and illnesses. For all other immediate medical needs, an urgent care facility can provide you with prompt service at an affordable price.
What is the difference between Urgent Care and the E.R.?
Your time and money. Compare the typical fees for some of the most common patient needs:

What To Expect When You Need Urgent Care
Board-certified family physicians and physician assistants are here at convenient hours (including most holidays) to care for you… when a visit to your primary care physician simply isn’t possible, yet a visit to the emergency room isn’t necessary. Our clinic has on-site lab, x-ray and EKG equipment available to make your visit as comfortable and efficient as possible. Unlike an emergency room, our urgent care operates by scheduling patients in specially-reserved urgent care appointment slots.
During times of high volume, our schedule may fill up, and we’ll pause our acceptance of patients. If that happens, we’re happy to help you find an appointment the next day, or (if necessary) to direct you to another treatment facility.
