Urgent care patients can walk in anytime, or book your appointment by calling the office or using the online scheduling tool.
Every situation is unique, but in general, you need urgent care if a medical issue needs treatment now rather than tomorrow. Some of the most common reasons for urgent care visits include:
There are also many other situations that warrant an urgent care visit. If you’ve been involved in an auto accident, an on-the-job accident, or any other kind of accident, an urgent care visit is always a good idea. Even if you don’t think you’re hurt in an accident, it’s best to get checked out by a doctor to make sure that you don’t have a hard-to-see injury like a concussion.
If you’re physically injured in any way, try to avoid touching or agitating the injured body part, and stay as still as possible. If possible, have a friend or family member drive you to Harlingen Family Care Clinic when you’re injured since your treatment may include medication, splinting, or something else that renders you unable to drive.
Call the office ahead of time to let them know you’re on the way. This gives the team a chance to rearrange the schedule if necessary so the doctor can see you right away when you arrive. Urgent care patients are always seen based on situation urgency.
The simple rule to follow is that life-threatening injuries mean you should get to the emergency room immediately. There are many physical problems and injuries that are painful, uncomfortable, or frustrating, but that doesn’t threaten your life. All of those non-life-threatening problems are quickly and efficiently handled by the friendly team at Harlingen Family Care Clinic.
