Urgent Care Q & A

What is urgent care?

Urgent care is the service for health problems that can’t wait for a regular doctor’s appointment, but aren’t so serious that you need to take a trip to the emergency room. Evergreen Medical Clinic provides expert urgent care to patients when they need it, avoiding inconvenience and being far more cost-effective than going to the ER.

What conditions are classified as urgent care?

If your problem can’t wait a few days, then it’s probably an urgent care case. Typical urgent care issues include:

Ear infections
Strep throat
Insect bites
Minor injuries
Asthma attacks (unless severe)
Eye infections or irritations
Flu and colds
Fractured toes or fingers

Moderately painful back injuries
Bad cough
Skin rashes
Sprains and strains
Urinary problems
Fever
Vomiting and diarrhea
Dehydration

At Evergreen Medical Clinic, you can also receive treatment for allergy attacks and allergy testing, as well as vaccinations that you may need urgently.

When should I go to the emergency room?

There are times when you should get yourself to the ER as soon as possible. If you’ve broken a limb and there’s bone sticking out of the skin (known as a compound fracture), or you sustain a traumatic injury, you’d most likely know immediately that you needed to go to the hospital.

However, other symptoms also warrant immediate attention, for example:

Having a convulsion or seizure
Losing consciousness
Feeling suicidal
Sustaining moderate to severe burns
Serious head, neck, or back injury
Any level of paralysis
Severe abdominal pain
Severe chest pain
Difficulty drawing breath
Symptoms of stroke

While the urgent care clinic does see patients the same day, you’d still need to wait, possibly for some time if there are a lot of other people waiting for treatment too, so if you have any of these emergency symptoms, make a trip to the hospital. The team at Evergreen Medical Clinic strives to help patients who need urgent care as efficiently as possible so that they can return to health without delay.
