Urgent care provides affordable and convenient care for a variety of problems from coughs, fevers and nausea to arthritis, allergies and infections- or whether you just need an X-ray, laboratory test, medicine, or a simple physical. Medical treatments also provided for skin rashes, fevers and infections to gastrointestinal problems, burns, lacerations and simple fractures. While urgent care medical clinic physicians are experienced in treating such problems and conditions, they should not take the place of your primary care provider or PCP.
