What is urgent care?

Urgent care addresses nonemergency health problems requiring fast and effective medical treatment. It’s the care you want when you have health concerns like:

• Noncritical burns
• Sprains and strains
• The flu
• The common cold
• Strep throat
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Allergic reactions and itching
• Bug bites

The MOD-DOC team can investigate the source of your discomfort to prevent further problems.

How do I decide whether to visit the emergency room or urgent care?

When your discomfort is severe, it’s best to go to the emergency room. Emergency rooms are designed to triage critical problems that can be life- or limb-threatening.

If you experience any of the following symptoms, seek immediate care at an emergency room:

• Sudden sight loss
• Severe pain, especially in the jaw or arm
• Weakness on one side of your body
• Debilitating headaches that arise suddenly
• Paralysis
• Intestinal bleeding
• Severe burns
• Sudden difficulty speaking or understanding speech
• Rashes with a high fever
• Bleeding while taking blood-thinning medication
• Uncontrolled vomiting

You should also go to the emergency room if you’re in a car accident and the airbag deploys. Even if you feel OK now, an exam can catch problems that adrenaline might be obscuring.

What makes urgent care a good option?

Urgent care offers many advantages if your health problem isn’t immediately endangering your life. Emergency rooms must prioritize many medical crises; you might have to wait hours in a chaotic, loud, and/or stressful environment.

Urgent care waiting rooms are calmer and quieter, and the skilled team at MOD-DOC has the experience to treat urgent symptoms and look for their root causes. Holistic care is at the heart of MOD-DOC’s personalized, wellness-centered treatment plans.

While emergency services can cost thousands of dollars, urgent care allows you to see a medical professional quickly and affordably. When MOD-DOC is your primary care provider, you receive treatment in a familiar setting with a team that already knows your medical history and has established a dependable relationship with you.
