Urgent Care Near North Bethesda, MD

Have you ever tried making a same-day appointment with your primary care physician? It’s nearly impossible because these physicians are rarely available for immediate care. With urgent care clinics, same days are never a problem. In fact, urgent cares are all about same-day, walk-in healthcare, so you won’t have to wait for an appointment. When you or a loved one has a minor but urgent emergency, like a concussion or a minor infection, this is when you should choose urgent care over other options.

You can also go to an urgent care center for assistance with managing a chronic condition like arthritis. Urgent care is an excellent alternative to primary care and can provide the same services and more.

For primary care and minor healthcare services, you can go to an urgent care clinic like ours. Actually, urgent care is the best option in these cases, even over the ER (emergency room). This is because the ER has to prioritize patients with life-threatening conditions over patients with non-life-threatening conditions, so patients with minor conditions will have to wait for service.

You should go to an urgent care clinic for any minor, non-life-threatening emergency. Some examples include minor allergic reactions, flu symptoms, migraines, skin conditions, strep throat, minor cuts, insect bites/stings, simple burns, common infections, common sports injuries, and other minor injuries, illnesses, or infections. At Physicians Now Urgent Care and Walk-In Clinic, you can also receive IV therapy, any type of physical exam, X-rays, lab tests, and immunizations too.

For major, life-threatening emergencies or any emergency you believe could be life-threatening, you absolutely must go to the ER because only they are properly equipped to help you in these cases.

Urgent care costs about as much as a trip to your primary doctor, and often less! And it’s always less expensive than going to the ER for a minor emergency. Typically, urgent care clinics will charge a simple flat fee for an examination, and additional fees for additional services. You’ll appreciate that these urgent care services are covered by most insurance providers. If you don’t have insurance, then you can qualify for affordable self-pay options.
