Urgent care centers provide care for illnesses and minor injuries that require immediate attention, but are not severe enough for a trip to the emergency room. Urgent care centers are also helpful when your family pediatrician or primary care physician's office is closed or unavailable. Patients are typically seen on a walk-in basis, with no appointments necessary and reduced waiting times. A visit to an urgent care center can cost up to 10 times less than a visit to the emergency room or free standing emergency room. At Urgent Care4U, you will always be seen by a provider with emergency medicine experience.
