Medical problems develop unexpectedly, and they can demand immediate attention. That's why we're here when you need us to care for life's little emergencies... sprained ankles, broken fingers, sudden fevers, minor cuts and burns. Don't spend hours waiting in a hospital emergency room, or weeks waiting for a doctor's appointment, when you can walk right into our our office of experienced medical professionals in a clean, friendly, comfortable environment at a fraction of the cost of the ER.

"All centers are not created equal, and the difference can affect your wallet. To reduce your costs, choose a free-standing urgent care center, one that isn't located in a hospital. These facilities are well equipped to provide medical care for minor illnesses or injuries. The only difference is the location. Your copayment and other costs could be a lot higher if you choose an urgent care center in a hospital."
