Illness & Infection

STD Testing (Same-Day)

Confidential, same-day STD testing in a discreet and judgment-free environment. We offer rapid testing for common sexually transmitted infections with results available quickly so you can get answers and, if needed, treatment without delay.

Rapid Strep Testing

Sore throat that won’t quit? We offer rapid strep testing with on-site results so we can confirm whether you have strep throat and start antibiotics the same day if needed. No waiting, no uncertainty.

PCR Respiratory Testing

Accurate same-day PCR testing for COVID-19, influenza, and other respiratory infections. Know what you’re dealing with quickly so you can make informed decisions about your care and recovery.

UTI Treatment

Urinary tract infections are uncomfortable and can worsen quickly without treatment. Our providers can diagnose a UTI through same-day urinalysis and prescribe the appropriate antibiotic so you can start feeling better fast.

Ear Infection Treatment

Whether it’s you or your child, ear infections require prompt attention. Our team evaluates symptoms, confirms the diagnosis, and provides treatment to relieve pain and prevent complications, all in a single visit.

Sinus Infection Treatment

Persistent sinus pressure, congestion, and facial pain are signs that something more than a cold may be going on. We diagnose and treat acute sinus infections, providing relief and a clear path to recovery.

Skin Infection Treatment

From cellulitis to infected cuts and wounds, skin infections can spread quickly and require medical attention. Our providers assess the affected area, determine the appropriate course of treatment, and prescribe antibiotics when necessary.

Asthma Treatment

If you’re experiencing wheezing, chest tightness, or shortness of breath, our team can evaluate your symptoms and provide treatment to help you breathe easier. We offer on-site breathing treatments and can coordinate follow-up care with your primary care provider.

Allergic Reactions

Mild to moderate allergic reactions, including hives, swelling, and itching, can be treated quickly at our urgent care centers. For severe reactions or signs of anaphylaxis, please call 911 immediately.

Skin & Wound Care

Rash Treatment

Rashes can have many causes, from contact dermatitis and allergic reactions to infections and underlying conditions. Our providers assess the rash, identify the likely cause, and recommend the most effective treatment plan.

Stitches & Wound Treatment

Cuts and lacerations that won’t stop bleeding or are too deep to heal on their own need professional care. We provide stitches, wound closure, and thorough cleaning to minimize the risk of infection and support proper healing.

Burns

Minor to moderate burns require prompt care to reduce pain, prevent infection, and support healing. Our team evaluates the severity of the burn and provides appropriate wound care and follow-up guidance.

Abscess Drainage

Painful skin abscesses require professional drainage to heal properly. Our providers perform this procedure quickly and safely in-office, with appropriate numbing and aftercare instructions to prevent recurrence.

Tick Bite Treatment

If you’ve found a tick or suspect a bite, prompt evaluation is important. We assess the bite, remove any remaining tick if present, evaluate your risk of tick-borne illness such as Lyme disease, and prescribe preventive treatment when appropriate.

Injuries

X-Rays

On-site digital X-rays allow our providers to quickly assess broken bones, joint injuries, and chest conditions without sending you elsewhere. Fast, clear imaging means faster answers and a more efficient path to treatment.

Sprains & Strains

Twisted ankles, pulled muscles, and joint injuries are some of the most common reasons people visit urgent care. We evaluate the injury, rule out fractures with on-site imaging if needed, and provide treatment recommendations including bracing, wrapping, and activity guidance.

Physicals & Clearances

Sports & Camp Physicals

Required before your child can participate in school sports or attend summer camp, sports and camp physicals are fast and thorough. We assess overall health, cardiovascular fitness, and any concerns that may affect safe participation, and have paperwork ready before you leave.

Pre-Employment Physicals

Many employers require a physical exam before starting a new job. We provide efficient pre-employment physicals that meet standard requirements, with documentation completed and ready for your employer.

DOT Physicals

Commercial drivers are required to maintain a valid DOT medical certificate. Our certified medical examiners perform thorough DOT physicals in compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requirements, with same-day certification when you pass.

Pre-Surgical Clearance

Before undergoing a surgical procedure, many surgeons require medical clearance from a physician. Our providers review your health history, conduct a physical exam, and complete the necessary documentation to meet your surgeon’s requirements and keep your procedure on schedule.
