What is Urgent Care Medicine?

A true Urgent care practice provides an extended range of services that is usually outside the scope of most primary care facilities.  We place sutures (stitches) for cuts (lacerations) and care for a variety of orthopedic injuries (sprains, strains, and fractures) in addition to caring for urinary tract infections and colds.

We are certified by the Urgent Care Association of America

How is an Urgent Care Practice different from my primary doctor's office?

LESS WAITING in the office.  While your primary doctor cares for multiple chronic medical issues, we treat the problem facing you TODAY.  This allows us to treat you expediently without the wait.
 

Most primary care physicians do not have the ability to take x-rays, control nose bleeds (epistaxis), place sutures, or care for orthopedic injuries like our board certified emergency medicine physicians can.

When should I NOT visit an Urgent Care Practice?

Life threatening conditions such as significant chest pain, shortness of breath, rectal bleeding, or passing out (syncope) are best treated in an Emergency Room at your local hospital.

Although our offices are staffed by board certified emergency medicine physicians, life threatening emergencies require hospitalization and advanced care available only at a hospital.

What are the doctors like at PremierCare?

We love what we do and it is our privilege to care for you and your family.

All physicians working in our facilities are US trained and board certified physicians.  Many of our physicians have trained in some of the best hospitals and have won numerous awards for teaching and training other physicians.

Do you care for children?

Yes!

Not only do we treat children, but a few of our physicians have children with special needs (autism).

Not only do we care for children, we are parents and will care for yours as we do our own.
