What is urgent care?

Urgent care provides immediate, nonemergency medical attention for a variety of health issues that require prompt treatment but aren’t severe enough to necessitate a visit to the emergency room (ER). 

The Magnolia Family Medicine clinic offers a convenient alternative to primary care physicians, especially outside regular office hours, including evenings and weekends. The practice is staffed by health care professionals such as doctors, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who can diagnose and treat a range of medical conditions.

What issues can urgent care address?

Urgent care can address a wide range of medical issues, including:

• Minor injuries, such as sprains, strains, minor fractures, and cuts requiring stitches
• Common illnesses, such as colds, flu, ear infections, and sore throats
• Minor burns and rashes
• Mild to moderate asthma attacks or respiratory issues
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Gastrointestinal issues like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
• Mild allergic reactions
• Basic diagnostic services, including X-rays and laboratory tests
• Preventive care services, such as vaccinations and physical exams

If you’re unsure about the urgency of your health matter, call the friendly staff at Magnolia Family Medicine with your questions. They’ll be happy to help.

When should I go to urgent care instead of the emergency room?

Go to urgent care when you have a medical issue that’s not life-threatening but still requires timely attention. 

In contrast, you should go to the emergency room for serious, life-threatening conditions such as chest pain, severe abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, major trauma, uncontrollable bleeding, signs of a stroke, or severe allergic reactions.

How are urgent care health concerns treated?

Urgent care treats health concerns with a variety of medical interventions, including:

Medical evaluation

Diagnostic testing

Onsite services such as X-rays, blood tests, and other lab work help diagnose issues.

Treatment

Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include prescription medications, minor procedures (such as sutures for cuts), or other therapies.

Follow-up care

Urgent care often provides instructions for home care and may recommend follow-up with your primary care physician or specialist if necessary.
