Urgent Care Clinic in Davie, FL

An urgent care clinic is a medical facility that provides an alternative to patients to their primary care clinic or the emergency department at the hospital. Urgent care clinics function as a convenient medium between those two facilities.
 
The difference between an urgent care clinic and a primary care clinic is that urgent care clinics see patients on a walk-in basis, while primary care clinics require patients to make appointments in advance before seeing a doctor. Another difference between urgent care clinics and primary clinics is that urgent clinics see patients who have urgent medical needs, while primary care clinic doctors provide ongoing care to their patients for their general health and well-being.
 
On the other hand, the difference between the emergency department and urgent care clinics is that urgent care clinics do not treat life-threatening medical emergencies, while emergency departments do. As such, urgent care clinics provide treatment for any injury, illness, or condition that needs urgent medical attention but is not considered life-threatening.

The difference between a walk-in clinic and an urgent care clinic is fairly subtle, and in some cases, there is no difference at all. In some cases, urgent care centers will have more qualified doctors or clinicians who can provide more advanced services to patients. That said, both types of medical facilities accept walk-in appointments and serve as alternatives to primary care clinics and emergency departments.

The best time to go to a walk-in clinic or urgent care clinic is if you have a medical concern that cannot wait for the next available appointment at your primary care clinic but is not concerning enough to be considered a life-threatening emergency.

While an emergency room can provide care for injuries and illnesses that are not life-threatening, they may involve longer wait times than urgent care or walk-in clinics. Doctors in emergency departments are obliged to see patients according to the severity of their condition. Since emergency departments see patients with more severe medical concerns than urgent care clinics, patients with less severe medical concerns often have to wait much longer to see a doctor than they would at an urgent care clinic.

With that in mind, some injuries and illnesses that are often worth a trip to your nearest walk-in clinic include:

• Abdominal pain
• Abrasions, cuts, and lacerations
• Abscess drainage
• Allergies and allergic reactions
• Animal or insect bites
• Asthma
• Back pain
• Bladder infections
• Bronchitis
• Burns
• Cold and flu symptoms
• Confidential STD testing
• Conjunctivitis, also called pink eye, and other eye infections
• Diarrhea, nausea, upset stomach, or vomiting
• Dislocations, fractures, sprains, or strains
• Ear infections
• Rashes or skin irritations
• Respiratory infections
• Sinus infections
• Sore throat or strep
• Splinter removals
• Sports injuries
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Wound infections
