It’s particularly useful when a person’s primary care physician is out of town or unavailable. Seeking urgent care is oftentimes the best solution when a patient’s primary care physician’s office is closed. It differs from an emergency room since the patient doesn’t have to wait in a long line.
No, urgent care is only an outpatient treatment. This means patients aren’t admitted to the facility but may be referred to the hospital if additional treatment is needed.
No, a person still needs to see his or her primary care physician for checkups and thorough monitoring of conditions. The urgent care physician will correlate treatment based on the patient’s records, but he or she can’t rely on urgent care for all of his or her medical needs.

Urgent care treatment treats illnesses and symptoms like colds, flu, coughs and sore throats.
