How does urgent care work?

Urgent care is the practice of diagnosing and treating patients with non-life-threatening illnesses or injuries who need attention quickly. Appointments are not required, and our clinic is open 7 days a week with extended hours.

What’s the difference between urgent care and the emergency room?

Life-threatening conditions require a costly trip to the ER and long wait times in crowded waiting rooms. According to a recent study, the difference in cost between an urgent care visit and a trip to the ER for the same diagnosis can be up to $600. Utilizing urgent care for non-life-threatening conditions could save the U.S. healthcare system over $18 billion dollars annually.

Are all urgent care centers created equal?

Unfortunately, no. Unlike some urgent care centers, our clinic maintains a licensed doctor on-site at all times to ensure quality care for higher acuity patients. In addition, a visit at Falcon Urgent Care costs a fraction as much as a trip to hospital-affiliated urgent care.

What does urgent care treat?

What if I don't have insurance?

We offer affordable self-pay rates for those without health insurance. Our continuing goal is to keep urgent care affordable for everyone. 

Is an appointment needed for urgent care services?

No, appointments are not necessary. We operate on a walk-in basis, so you can visit us whenever you need care, 7 days a week, during our extended hours.

How do I know if I should go to urgent care or the emergency room?

If your condition is not life-threatening but requires prompt attention, urgent care is the right choice. For example, minor injuries, flu symptoms, or infections are best suited for our clinic. However, for severe chest pain, uncontrolled bleeding, or difficulty breathing, you should go to the ER immediately.

How does billing work for telemedicine visits?

Will I have to wait long to be seen at Falcon Urgent Care?

Can I follow up with my primary care doctor after visiting urgent care?
