Urgent Care Q & A
What is urgent care?
Urgent care services are for medical problems that need attention quickly but aren’t serious enough for the emergency room.
Boca General & Family Medicine offers same-day appointments to help you get the care you need without waiting days to be seen. If you’re not feeling well or something doesn’t seem right, they can help.
The practice offers a concierge medicine program that provides additional benefits for members. For example, you have access to your provider at all times, so you can call them to discuss any new or worrying symptoms, even when the office is closed.
What kinds of problems does urgent care treat?
Boca General & Family Medicine treats a wide range of non-life-threatening urgent care issues, including the following:
- Colds
- Flu
- Sore throats
- Sinus infections
- Minor cuts
- Sprains
- Ear infections
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Headaches
- Minor burns and scalds
- Stomach pain
- Allergy symptoms
If you’ve got a sprained wrist, a small cut that might need stitches, or an upset stomach, they can help. They also check to ensure nothing more serious is happening and provide services like tetanus shots if you have a puncture wound.
After your visit, the team follows up with you to ensure you heal well. They can schedule further testing, prescribe medication, or refer you to a specialist if necessary.
When should I use urgent care?
Visit Boca General & Family Medicine for urgent care if your symptoms are acute but not life-threatening.
For example, if you have a fever, a bad cough, a painful sore throat, or a twisted ankle, they can usually help the same day. However, if you’re having chest pain, difficulty breathing, or signs of a stroke, call 911 or go to the hospital emergency room immediately.
Call Boca General & Family Medicine as early as possible if you need urgent care. The office keeps space open each day for urgent visits, so you won’t have to wait long. Sometimes, they may offer a virtual visit if it suits your condition.
