I have been to urgent Care twice, two years apart, for very different reasons. Both times I was seen quickly and treated professionally. The first time I was sent to St. Luke's, where the ER care was also excellent--the second time, the physician in charge definitely saved my life.

Friendly Staff

I have been there twice with a broken foot, and a case of shingles, and was treated and released very quickly. Wonderful service! Also took my 100-year-old neighbor for sutures and he was treated very well. We had to wait a long time because we didn't have an on-line appointment, though.

I have been going to Garden city Treatment Center for 15 years or so. They have a fantastic staff and excellent doctors. They make me comfortable and work with me to address my health concerns. I had a serious skin infection a couple of years ago. Doctor Creighton new exactly what it was and gave me the appropriate shot for two consecutive days. This effectively stopped the infection. I've seen all the doctors at GCTC at one time or another, for injuries, bronchitis, and the flu. They're always on the ball! I really don't care if I have to wait an extra 10 minutes or so now and then. Getting treated by Garden City Treatment Center is worth the wait. Leo T

I went for a COVID test today, August 30. From the time I arrived until the actual test itself was approximately 1 hour. The staff was very nice and efficient. Ann did the actual testing and was so kind and compassionate. When she was done she actually said 'hope you feel better'. It may not seem like much, but to me it means a lot when someone actually cares. A few kind words go such a long way and really mean a great deal when you are not feeling well. I highly recommend this location and staff!

This was the fastest I’ve ever been taken care of and treated at an urgent care. Came in for stomach issues, within two hours I had been seen, had some testing done, and was hooked up to IV. This would’ve taken over 5 hours had I gone anywhere else, compliments to the Nurse who did my IV (I had never gotten one before) she had an amazing personality and made everything seamless and comfortable

What is urgent care?

Urgent care is a category of walk-in 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 treat a wide range of non-life-threatening conditions promptly and efficiently. They are typically open seven days a week, with extended hours into the evening, making them a convenient option for those who need medical attention outside of typical office hours.

Common services and reasons for visit

Urgent care centers offer a variety of services to address immediate health concerns. These include but are not limited to:

  • Minor fractures and sprains
  • Cuts, burns, and other minor injuries
  • Common illnesses like colds, flu, and strep throat
  • Skin conditions such as rashes or infections
  • Diagnostic services, including X-rays and lab tests
  • Preventive care such as vaccinations and physical exams

Patients often visit urgent care centers when they cannot wait for a primary care appointment but do not have a condition severe enough to warrant a trip to the emergency room.

Types of healthcare providers

Urgent care centers are staffed by a diverse team of healthcare providers, each with a specific role to play in patient care. These may include:

  • Physicians: Doctors at urgent care centers are typically trained in family medicine or emergency medicine. They are responsible for diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions, and have extensive training and experience in managing acute illnesses and injuries.
  • Nurse Practitioners (NPs): NPs are registered nurses with advanced training and the ability to diagnose and treat conditions, prescribe medication, and perform procedures. They often serve as the primary care provider in urgent care settings.
  • Physician Assistants (PAs): PAs are medical professionals who diagnose illness, develop and manage treatment plans, prescribe medications, and often serve as a patient’s principal healthcare provider. They work in collaboration with a physician.
  • Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs): Nurses provide direct patient care, administer medications, assist with procedures, and educate patients about their health conditions. RNs have a higher level of training and are often responsible for supervising LPNs.
  • Medical Assistants (MAs): MAs perform administrative and clinical tasks to support the work of physicians and other health professionals. This can include scheduling appointments, taking vital signs, and assisting with patient examinations.

Each of these providers plays a crucial role in ensuring that patients receive timely, effective care at urgent care centers.

When to go to an urgent care

Urgent care centers are designed to provide immediate, non-life-threatening healthcare services. They are an excellent choice when you need prompt medical attention but can't wait for a scheduled appointment with your primary care physician. Some common reasons to visit urgent care include minor fractures, sprains, burns, cuts needing stitches, severe cold or flu symptoms, urinary tract infections, and other non-emergency conditions. Urgent care centers are typically open seven days a week, with extended hours into the evening, making them a convenient option for those with busy schedules.

Urgent care vs emergency room (ER)

While both urgent care centers and emergency rooms provide immediate care, they serve different purposes. ERs are equipped to handle life-threatening emergencies such as severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, stroke symptoms, severe burns, or major trauma. Urgent care centers, on the other hand, handle less severe conditions that still require prompt attention. Another key difference is the cost and wait time. ER visits typically cost significantly more and have longer wait times compared to urgent care centers. Therefore, for non-emergency situations, urgent care centers are often a more efficient and cost-effective choice.

Urgent care vs primary care

Primary care physicians are essential for maintaining long-term health, managing chronic conditions, and preventive care. They know your health history and can provide personalized care. However, getting an immediate appointment can be challenging. Urgent care centers fill this gap by providing immediate care for non-emergency situations when your primary care physician is not available. They do not replace the role of your primary care physician but complement it by offering accessible, prompt care when you need it most.

Urgent care vs retail clinic

Retail clinics, often located in pharmacies or grocery stores, provide basic healthcare services such as vaccinations, health screenings, and treatment for simple conditions like sore throats or ear infections. They are typically staffed by nurse practitioners or physician assistants. Urgent care centers offer a wider range of services, including X-rays, suturing, and treatment for more complex conditions. They are usually staffed by physicians and have more advanced equipment. Therefore, for more serious but non-emergency conditions, an urgent care center would be a more suitable choice than a retail clinic.

Preparing for Your Visit

Before your visit to an urgent care center, it's important to gather all necessary information and items to ensure a successful visit. This includes:

  • Your current health insurance card
  • A valid form of identification such as a driver's license
  • Any relevant medical records or information
  • A list of current medications you are taking
  • Details of your current health concern

Having these items readily available will assist the healthcare professionals in providing you with the best possible care.

During Your Visit

During your visit to the urgent care center, you will first be checked in and your information will be verified. You'll then be seen by a healthcare professional who will assess your health concern. This could involve a physical examination, diagnostic tests, or other medical evaluations.

Diagnostic Tests and Treatments

Depending on your symptoms, the healthcare professional may order diagnostic tests such as blood tests, x-rays, or other imaging studies. If necessary, treatment could include medication, stitches, splints, or other medical procedures.

Follow-up Care and Communication

After your visit, the healthcare team at the urgent care center will provide you with instructions for follow-up care. This could include taking prescribed medications, scheduling a follow-up appointment, or seeking further care with a specialist. It's crucial to follow these instructions to ensure your health concern is properly managed. The urgent care center will also communicate with your primary care provider to keep them updated about your visit and any treatments provided.

Cost and Insurance Details

The cost of an urgent care visit can vary depending on the services provided. On average, the out-of-pocket cost for basic care ranges from $71 to $125.

Most urgent care centers accept health insurance, as well as Medicare and Medicaid. It's always a good idea to verify with the center about the insurance they accept before your visit. Remember, urgent care is a cost-effective and efficient alternative to emergency room visits for non-life-threatening conditions.

Charity was great, and I was very happy to be able to have a telemedicine appointment. She was friendly and professional - very patient with me when I was trying to use the camera and show my leg. I feel that she listened to my concerns and didn't rush me. She was caring and sincere. I appreciated her mentioning a smaller ER closer to me after I shared my worries about going to the very busy main hospital. Nobody wants to be in an ER waiting room, especially during a pandemic. Also, she did a great job explaining that the problem could be life threatening, without panicking me. I followed her recommendation, and I will update her (it was fine). I rarely follow up with urgent care healthcare providers, but my very positive experience with her and my results would be good to share to share with her.

The Swampscott MA urgent care staff were professional and efficient. The online questionnaire was tedious--you have to revisit each question if you login twice in a day. This should be improved.
