Wear a mask
It is recommended to wear a mask to help prevent the spread of airborne illness. Patients may be provided with a mask upon arrival at the clinic.
Practice good hand hygiene
Patients should wash their hands frequently and use hand sanitizer to help prevent the spread of germs.
Social distancing
Patients should try to maintain a distance of at least 6 feet from others in the waiting room and exam room.
Limit visitors
Patients should avoid bringing unnecessary visitors to the clinic to reduce the risk of spreading illness.
Notify healthcare providers
Patients should notify healthcare providers if they have recently traveled or been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 or other infectious illnesses.

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

- Chest pain or pressure
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
- Severe abdominal pain
- Head injuries or loss of consciousness
