Knowing the Difference – When to Choose Urgent Care Over the ER

Knowing where to go in a medical emergency is critical. If you are experiencing a life-threatening event, such as a heart attack or stroke, call 9-1-1 or go to the ER. But for many non-life-threatening events, such as fevers, cuts or sprains, our experienced and board-certified urgent care physicians can treat you and your family, whether you choose in-person visits (walk-ins or ‘reserve your spot’ advanced appointment scheduling) or 24/7 virtual video visits.
