Q. What is the difference between Urgent Care and
Emergency Care?
A. Basically emergency care refers to those things which
could be beyond the scope of any urgent care center, as they
could prove to be life-threatening and thus require the full
resources of a hospital.
Q. Does iMed
Urgent Care replace my primary care physician?
A. No, at iMed Urgent Care , our goal is not to
replace your primary care physician but to be available, when
their office may be closed or when it is impractical to be seen
by them promptly.
Q. When should I use an urgent care center rather than
my regular doctor?
A. Use your regular doctor when you can. We are here to
assist in your care if you cannot schedule a convenient
appointment. You will find the urgent care can handle your
problem promptly.
Q. Why not use the Emergency Room?
A. If you have a true life threatening emergency, you
must go to an emergency room. However, most patients do not need
the expense and delay of the emergency room for urgent
illnesses/injuries.
Q. Do we work with other doctors?
A. We often act as firemen for your regular doctors. We
see patients when your doctor is out, after hours, weekends and
holidays. We handle the urgent problem immediately and refer
back to the primary care doctor the next day.
Q. Do you refer patients to specialists?
A. Yes. We handle immediately urgent problems such as
sprains, fractures, lacerations, vomiting, diarrhea,
dehydration, etc. and refer patients to the appropriate
specialist the next day or immediately if the illness warrants.
Q. Is x-ray available?
A. Yes. We have x-ray facilities on site with x-ray
technicians on staff.
Q. Do your doctors have regular patients?
A. Since we are a walk-in urgent care center, our
emphasis is on the urgent care patient. Some patients use us as
their primary care provider.
Q. If I make an appointment, will I be seen on time?
A. Usually, but we are an urgent care center and we take
patients as they arrive.
Q. Do we see patients with urgent illnesses?
