    Evaluate the Urgency of Your Symptoms

    Immediate Care: Immediate care is for symptoms and concerns that need immediate attention and cannot wait for care.  Please note that if you are experience a medical emergency you should call 911 or visit your closest emergency department right away.

    Scheduled Care: If your concern isn’t urgent and can wait a few hours or until later that day.

    Online Care: Online care is best for mild concerns.

    Consider the Nature of Your Symptoms

    Immediate Care: Immediate care is ideal for unexpected or sudden issues like chest pain, abdominal pain or possible broken bones that need prompt attention but do not require emergency medical care.

    Scheduled Care: For ongoing or less severe symptoms, like mild back pain, allergies, or cold concerns, scheduling an appointment allows you to plan your visit around your day.

    Online Care: For mild concerns like strep throat, cold and flu and sinus or congestion, online care is a fast, more affordable way to get care. You can see a provider online and come into the clinic for any necessary testing. We’ll text you with your results.
