Urgent Care Medicine

Urgent Care Medicine is a branch of healthcare that provides immediate, non-emergency care for a variety of medical issues. It serves patients who need prompt attention, such as those with minor injuries, illnesses, or other health concerns that require timely treatment but are not critical enough for an emergency room. Urgent care centers are typically open outside regular office hours, allowing for greater accessibility. They are staffed by healthcare professionals trained to diagnose and treat a range of conditions, often providing services like X-rays, lab tests, and minor procedures to help patients feel better quickly.
