Frequently Asked Questions
What is urgent care and how does it work?
Urgent care centers are designed to treat those who need attention quickly but don't require an emergency room visit. At MyDoc Urgent Care, you can walk in without an appointment and receive prompt medical attention for a wide range of non-life-threatening conditions. Our clinics are open 7 days a week, 12 hours a day (8:00 AM – 8:00 PM), providing extended access beyond typical primary care hours. We offer services such as treatment for minor injuries and illnesses, diagnostic testing, vaccinations, and preventive care. Our goal is to bridge the gap between your primary care doctor and the emergency room, ensuring you get the care you need, when you need it.
Who do we treat?
We treat patients of all ages, from infants and children to adults and seniors. Whether you have a minor illness, need a physical exam, or require urgent attention for an injury, our team is equipped to help. We welcome both long-time residents and visitors to the area. Our providers are experienced in pediatric, adult, and geriatric care, and we strive to create a welcoming, compassionate environment for every patient.

How does Urgent Care compare to the ER or a Primary Care Doctor?
Urgent care is designed for non-life-threatening conditions that require prompt attention but are not severe enough for the emergency room. The average wait time for a primary care appointment can be over 20 days, and ER visits can last over 3 hours. At MyDoc Urgent Care, most visits are completed in less than an hour. We offer a cost-effective alternative to the ER for issues like minor injuries, infections, and illnesses. For life-threatening emergencies, such as chest pain, severe bleeding, or difficulty breathing, always call 911 or go to the nearest ER.
What about insurance?
We accept most major insurance plans for medical services, including Medicaid and Medicare. If you do not have insurance, we offer affordable self-pay rates and transparent pricing. Our staff can help you understand your benefits, answer questions about coverage, and provide cost estimates before treatment. We believe everyone should have access to quality healthcare, regardless of insurance status.

If you have paperwork for work, school, or sports, bring that as well so we can complete it during your visit.
How do I know if I should go to urgent care or the ER?
Urgent care is appropriate for non-life-threatening conditions that need prompt attention, such as minor injuries, infections, or illnesses. If you are experiencing severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of stroke, severe bleeding, loss of consciousness, or any other life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately. When in doubt, it's always better to err on the side of caution and seek emergency care.
