Top Rated Urgent Care Near Gaithersburg MD

Urgent care is on-the-spot healthcare, so you can simply walk in for service. This is one of the major benefits of choosing an urgent care center over other options like your primary care physician. Your physician likely won’t be immediately available, so you might have to wait a week or so until you can see him or her.

With urgent care, you won’t have to make an appointment or wait at all. This can be especially convenient and sometimes even necessary during minor emergencies like minor sports injuries or last-minute school physicals. With Physicians Now Urgent Care and Walk-In Clinic, you can even get assistance with managing chronic conditions like diabetes, making us an excellent primary care alternative.

Urgent care centers can take care of any kind of minor emergency. Some of these include common infections, mild allergic reactions, flu symptoms, nausea, skin conditions, sore throat, minor cuts that need stitches, insect bites/stings, minor burns, minor sports injuries, and more. With our clinic, you also have access to IV therapy, full physical examinations, travel vaccinations, and even more.

Sometimes it can be difficult to tell how serious an emergency is. If you’re not sure whether an emergency is minor or major, then treat it as a major emergency and dial 911 for emergency care.

For minor, non-life-threatening emergencies, urgent care is a better option than the ER (emergency room). If you have a minor emergency and you go to the ER, you’ll have to wait until patients with major emergencies are treated. You should always go to the ER for major, life-threatening emergencies, but you should go to urgent care for minor, non-life-threatening emergencies.

Here’s another benefit of choosing urgent care over the other options for minor emergencies: urgent care is less expensive. Urgent care is always less expensive than going to the ER for a minor emergency, and it can be less expensive than your primary care physician too. Also, most urgent care clinics work with most major insurance providers, so you can expect your visit to be covered by your insurance. For patients without insurance, urgent cares offer affordable self-pay options.

Typically, urgent care clinics charge a flat fee for service, and then additional fees for any additional services. These fees vary, depending on the healthcare provider and the types of services.
