MD Today Urgent Care, Scripps Ranch - 10605 Scripps Poway Pkwy, San Diego
I really like this urgent care. The wait couldn’t be helped they were busy. I definitely felt like the doctor listened to me and was very helpful. The staff is very friendly which is a huge breath of fresh air! They are very clean which is a relief. I will definitely use them again!

Carbon Health, San Marcos - 109 S Las Posas Rd
While visiting from out if state, I developed a sinus infection that I thought was getting better until I woke up today. I found Carbon Health Urgent Care online and was able to get an appt within an hour. The check-in was quick & easy with a friendly receptionist. I was seen shortly afterwards by a really nice PA who knew exactly what was going on after a thorough exam & history. I was prescribed antibiotics that were called into a local pharmacy & was on my way home all within 30 minutes. Couldn't have gone better! 5 star rating for sure!!

South Bay Urgent Care - 1628 Palm Ave, San Diego
I have had many accidents in my life. Been to the ER more than a dozen times for a variety of mishaps, mistakes, and missteps that required medical care and stitches. Never have I experienced the care and kindness I have ever received from any medical care facility as I did by going to South Bay Urgent Care. I hate going to hospitals and try to avoid going at all cost. Unfortunately I sliced one of my fingers half way through and needed stitches. I feel fortunate and lucky enough to have had Isaac Ortega-Endahl, PA-C sew my finger back together. The man has amazing skill sets and should be a surgeon. Thank you Dr. Issac. I truly appreciate your kindness. I didn't realize that I got there close to their closing time and feel grateful to your entire staff that took care of me that night. Kindness is a rare thing in the world today. I'm so thankful that it exists in your staff at South Bay Urgent Care. Truly amazing people.

I’ve been to a lot of urgent cares before, and when I left I immediately texted my mom because this was the best one I have been to my entire life. Even while being busy, the staff did not show any signs of stress or have terrible attitudes. The doctor I received was super sweet and great. It was a great experience for myself to actually be treated amazing.

The only thing I didn't like was that they tried to get blood from me twice before they finally got it the third time. They also sent me to the ER for a follow-up test they couldn't do in their office. They told me it was a quick test and they would send over their test results to the ER so it would go faster. I spent over four hours in the ER and they redid all of the tests that Urgent Care did because they are "different systems". Why wasn't I told that? Now I have to pay multiple times for the same tests on the same day! 😒

Getting Urgent Care in San Diego, CA

What is urgent care?

Urgent care is a category of walk-in clinic focused on the delivery of immediate, non-life-threatening care in a dedicated medical facility outside of a traditional emergency room. Urgent care centers primarily treat injuries or illnesses requiring immediate care, but not serious enough to require an ER visit. These centers are equipped to handle a variety of medical problems that need to be treated right away, but are not considered true emergencies.

Common services and reasons for visit

Urgent care centers provide a wide range of services that cover a lot of the non-emergency health issues you might face. Here are some common services and reasons why people visit urgent care:

  • Minor fractures, sprains, strains, and injuries

  • Cuts, burns, and other minor wounds requiring stitches

  • Common illnesses like colds, flu, ear infections, urinary tract infections, and strep throat

  • Skin conditions such as rashes, poison ivy, and minor allergic reactions

  • Diagnostic services including X-rays and laboratory tests

  • Preventive care such as physical examinations, vaccinations, and health screenings

Types of healthcare providers

Urgent care centers are staffed by a diverse team of healthcare providers, each with their own role, training, and experience. Here are some of the healthcare providers you might encounter at an urgent care center:

  • Physicians: These are medical doctors (MDs) or doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs) who have completed medical school and residency training. They diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions and may have specialized training in urgent care medicine.

  • Nurse Practitioners (NPs): NPs are registered nurses with advanced training and education, often a master's degree or higher. They can diagnose and treat medical conditions, prescribe medication, and perform certain procedures.

  • Physician Assistants (PAs): PAs are medical professionals who practice medicine under the supervision of a physician. They can diagnose and treat illnesses, perform procedures, and prescribe medication.

  • Registered Nurses (RNs): RNs provide and coordinate patient care, educate patients about health conditions, and provide advice and emotional support. They work closely with physicians and other healthcare providers.

  • Medical Assistants (MAs): MAs perform routine clinical and administrative tasks to keep the offices of physicians, podiatrists, chiropractors, and other health practitioners running smoothly.

  • Radiologic Technologists: These professionals perform diagnostic imaging examinations, such as x-rays, on patients. They work closely with physicians to provide imaging needed for diagnosis and treatment.

When to go to an urgent care

Urgent care centers are designed to handle non-life-threatening situations that require immediate attention. These could include minor fractures, cuts that may need stitches, severe cold or flu symptoms, minor burns, or allergic reactions. They are also equipped to provide services such as X-rays, lab tests, and vaccinations. If you are unsure whether your condition requires urgent care, it's better to err on the side of caution and seek medical attention. Remember, urgent care centers are not a substitute for emergency care. If you are experiencing a life-threatening condition, call 911 immediately.

Urgent care vs emergency room (ER)

While both urgent care centers and emergency rooms provide immediate care, the key difference lies in the severity of health issues they are equipped to handle. ERs are designed to treat severe and life-threatening conditions, such as chest pain, severe bleeding, or difficulty breathing. On the other hand, urgent care centers handle less severe conditions that still need immediate attention. Another significant difference is the wait time and cost. Urgent care centers typically have shorter wait times and are less expensive than ER visits.

Urgent care vs primary care

Primary care physicians are typically the first point of contact for patients and provide ongoing, comprehensive healthcare. They manage your overall health, provide preventive care, and treat a wide range of illnesses and diseases. However, they may not be available outside of regular office hours. Urgent care centers, on the other hand, provide immediate care for non-life-threatening situations and operate beyond regular office hours, including evenings and weekends. While primary care is essential for long-term health management, urgent care centers fill the gap when immediate care is required, and your primary care doctor is not available.

Urgent care vs retail clinic

Retail clinics, often found in pharmacies or supermarkets, provide care for minor illnesses and preventive services, such as flu shots or basic health screenings. They are typically staffed by nurse practitioners or physician assistants. Urgent care centers, however, are equipped to treat a broader range of health issues, including fractures, burns, and severe cold or flu symptoms. They also offer more services, such as X-rays and lab tests. While retail clinics can be convenient for quick, basic care, urgent care centers provide more comprehensive care for urgent health issues.

Preparing for your visit

Before heading to an urgent care center, it's important to have all necessary materials ready. This includes your ID, insurance information, and a list of any medications you're currently taking. If you have any specific symptoms or medical concerns, jot them down so you don't forget to mention them. Also, remember to check the clinic's hours of operation and whether an appointment is required.

During your visit

During your visit, you'll first check in at the front desk, where you'll provide your ID and insurance information. You'll then be seen by a healthcare professional who will assess your symptoms and medical history. Depending on your condition, you may undergo diagnostic tests like blood work or x-rays. The healthcare provider will then discuss your diagnosis and treatment options with you.

Cost and insurance details

The cost of an urgent care visit can vary depending on the services provided. On average, you can expect to pay between $71 and $125 for basic care.

The standard cost in urgent care where insurance cover is not involved ranges from $100 to $125. This price is generally the standard price of a visit before extra services.

  • What is urgent care?

    Urgent care are available to assist patients that are looking for immediate, convenient medical care. In that manner, they are similar to an emergency room. The difference, however, is that ERs are meant to treat major, life-threatening injuries and illnesses while urgent care centers manage life’s minor bruises and bumps. In simple terms, an urgent care is seen as a walk-in health center that focuses in offering non-emergent health care conditions, including the treatment of the typical illnesses and injuries such as fractures and sprains, cuts and burns, scrapes, stings and bites, flu and cold symptoms, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, and much more. Most urgent care facilities offer both diagnostic and preventive care such as well visits, immunizations, STD testing and annual physicals. For regular visits and check-ups on these clinics, you should expect to pay between $20 and $100. The good thing is that most urgent care clinics will accept major PPOs and insurance cover, Medicare, as well as self-pay in the form of credit cards or cash. Urgent care clinics are located in most parts of the country in various regions to offset emergency room visits and provide a gap in healthcare services.

I would give 5 stars for quality of care but I noticed my respirations were noted as 14, and my chief complaint was flu like symptoms. I could barely talk without getting SOB.

In order to travel to Canada, I needed to get a (molecular) Covid test. It's a bit tricky because you need to get a negative test result within 72 hours of departure, but you also need the results quickly so that you can log into Canada's system. I searched several test providers but most didn't have availability this past Saturday afternoon. I was able to make an appointment at MD Today Urgent Care for 6:00 PM and it could not have gone smoother or any easier. I appreciated being called prior to the appointment time to clarify which test was most appropriate. They let you self-swab which is always more comfortable. Within 20 minutes of being tested, I was called again with the result - followed by an email. I strongly recommend MD Today Urgent Care. They are located a bit East of I-5 and North of Hwy 56 - just North of San Diego.

After booking the wrong kind of appointment for a Covid test I had to reschedule for 4 days from now. They told me they would put me on a cancellation list, we all know what that means…not much.

I am always happy with my experience at MD Today Urgent Care. Even though we had a long wait due to the amount of illness at the moment, we were taking in and my daughter, 15 years old, was listen to incredibly intently by the physician who took care of her. The doctor took a lot of time to listen to her and gave her a lot of ideas about how she could best help her. It was certainly worth the wait.
