Urgent Care Q & A

What is urgent care?

Urgent care bridges the gap between scheduled doctor’s appointments and emergency care. You don’t need an appointment for urgent care services, although, if possible, calling ahead to let the team at Cool Springs Internal Medicine & Pediatrics, PLLC, know about your condition can help you get the treatment you need.

For example, if your child wakes up with a sore throat full of white and yellow patches, you can bring them in for urgent care diagnosis and treatment.

Similarly, if you or your child sustain a sports injury, such as a sprained ankle, make your way to Cool Springs Internal Medicine & Pediatrics, PLLC. The offices are open seven days a week to ensure you and your family get the medical care you need when you need it.

The team treats patients of all ages, so any member of your family can get the treatment they need at Cool Springs Internal Medicine & Pediatrics, PLLC.

What’s the difference between urgent care emergency care?

The emergency room is for true medical emergencies that put your life at risk, while urgent care covers less dangerous injuries and illnesses. For example, you should go to the emergency room if you have:

Chest pain
Trouble breathing
Severe burns
Head or eye injuries
Broken bones
Slurred speech
Changes in mental state
Facial lacerations or severe cuts

Patients are treated depending on the urgency of their need in an emergency room. As a result, if you go to the emergency room with a non-life-threatening condition, you could wait for a long time to be seen as anyone with a more severe medical condition will be treated first.

Additionally, even with health insurance, the fees for emergency room care are significantly higher than those for urgent care clinics.

If you have an urgent medical need that isn’t putting your life at risk, make your way to Cool Springs Internal Medicine & Pediatrics, PLLC. Appointments are also available by calling the practice or booking online.
