Anxiety
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a natural human response to stress — but when it becomes persistent, overwhelming, or out of proportion to everyday situations, it can interfere with your quality of life.
It can cause constant worry, racing thoughts, restlessness, or physical symptoms such as a rapid heartbeat, sweating, or shortness of breath.
Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions, affecting millions of adults every year. They can develop gradually and often coexist with other conditions such as depression, ADHD, or sleep disturbances.
Why it matters
Untreated anxiety can impact nearly every area of life — from relationships and concentration to job performance and physical health. Chronic anxiety increases stress hormones in the body, which over time can contribute to high blood pressure, digestive problems, and sleep disturbances.
Many people delay seeking help because they assume anxiety is something they just have to “manage” on their own. In reality, anxiety is highly treatable. With the right combination of therapy, lifestyle adjustments, and when appropriate, medication, most individuals experience significant relief and regain control over their daily lives.
Symptoms
- Racing thoughts

What is Urgent Care?
Urgent care bridges the gap between primary care and the emergency room. It’s designed for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries that require immediate attention — faster than waiting for a regular appointment, and without the high costs of the ER.
At our clinic, urgent care means same-day access to medical providers, on-site testing, and fast treatment so you can get relief and return to your daily life.
Our urgent care services cover a wide range of common medical needs, including:
- Cold, flu, and COVID-19 testing and treatment
- Sore throats, strep, and sinus infections
- Cough, bronchitis, and RSV evaluation
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Ear infections and eye conditions (including pink eye)
- Minor cuts, burns, and skin infections
- Muscle strains, sprains, and minor injuries
- Headaches and migraines
- Nausea, vomiting, and stomach issues
- Same-day lab testing and medication refills for urgent needs
Walk in anytime — no appointment is required.
Urgent care is best when you need quick medical attention for issues that are uncomfortable, painful, or concerning — but not life-threatening.
Examples include:
- Fever, cough, or flu symptoms
- Ear pain or sore throat
- Minor allergic reactions
- Small cuts or burns
- Sprains or strains
- Painful urination or suspected UTI
- Rashes, skin infections, or insect bites
Some symptoms require emergency care. Call 911 or go directly to the ER if you experience:
- Chest pain or pressure
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
- Severe abdominal pain
- Head injuries or loss of consciousness
- Sudden weakness, numbness, or difficulty speaking
- Severe allergic reaction (trouble breathing, swelling of face/throat)
- Heavy bleeding that won’t stop
- Suspected stroke or heart attack
- Convenience: Walk in anytime, no appointment needed
- Speed: Short wait times compared to the ER
- Affordability: Lower costs than hospital emergency care
- Comprehensive care: On-site testing and treatment for a wide range of urgent conditions
