We have staff standing by to assist with any pediatric urgent care needs. We can also provide care for ingrown toenails.

Groin Area Symptoms

Skin Symptoms

• Minor Burns: Burns that impact the outer layer and part of the lower layer of skin may require a trip to urgent care for minor burns.

Minor Injuries

• Broken Bones: A bone fracture is a common injury that needs to be addressed quickly. Our facility is equipped with X-ray imaging to diagnose and determine the severity of your injury. If you think you may have a fracture, it's best to visit urgent care for broken bones right away.
• Cuts, Bruises, and Scrapes: Treatment for cuts and scrapes may be necessary depending on how deep the laceration is or if you can't get it to stop bleeding. Bruises usually do resolve on their own, but if the pain caused by a bruise continues to worsen, it could need medical attention.
