You might be asking, what does urgent care do? Urgent care is a dedicated medical facility outside of the traditional emergency room for walk-in care. These centers primarily treat injuries and illnesses that cannot wait for your regular physician and are often not serious enough for an emergency room. If your child is running a high fever or suffers from a minor cut or scrape urgent care can take care of them promptly. In most cases the urgent care wait times are much shorter than found at an ER and at West Covina Family Medical Center we make it a priority to treat our patients as timely as possible.
When does visiting our urgent care center make sense?
There are many injuries and illnesses you can be treated for at an urgent care center versus an emergency room. In fact, research shows that about 50% of everything seen in an ER could be seen at an urgent care instead. Here are a few examples:
- Fever
- Cold symptoms
- Flu symptoms
- Setting and casting broken bones
- Sprains and strains
- X-rays
- Lab tests
- Suturing minor cuts
