Frequently Asked Questions

 

When Should I come to an Urgent Care?

Great Question. Rapid Urgent Care is set to handle your non-life threatening illnesses. If you think you may have a life threatening illness, then please call 911 and go to your nearest emergency room. An urgent care setting is best for those medical conditions that come about unexpectedly and you want attended to today. These might include a cut or laceration that requires several stiches. It might also include a minor injury that will require an X-ray (We have X-Rays performed on sight). Infections, Flu, Vaccinations, UTI's, STDs, etc. are all things that are appropriate for treatment in an urgent care.
