Urgent Care Q & A
What is urgent care?
Urgent care is the service for health problems that can’t wait for a regular doctor’s appointment, but aren’t so serious that you need to take a trip to the emergency room. Evergreen Medical Clinic provides expert urgent care to patients when they need it, avoiding inconvenience and being far more cost-effective than going to the ER.
What conditions are classified as urgent care?
If your problem can’t wait a few days, then it’s probably an urgent care case. Typical urgent care issues include:
- Ear infections
- Strep throat
- Insect bites
- Minor injuries
- Asthma attacks (unless severe)
- Eye infections or irritations
- Flu and colds
- Fractured toes or fingers
- Moderately painful back injuries
- Bad cough
- Skin rashes
- Sprains and strains
- Urinary problems
- Fever
- Vomiting and diarrhea
- Dehydration
At Evergreen Medical Clinic, you can also receive treatment for allergy attacks and allergy testing, as well as vaccinations that you may need urgently.


When should I go to the emergency room?
There are times when you should get yourself to the ER as soon as possible. If you’ve broken a limb and there’s bone sticking out of the skin (known as a compound fracture), or you sustain a traumatic injury, you’d most likely know immediately that you needed to go to the hospital.
However, other symptoms also warrant immediate attention, for example:
- Having a convulsion or seizure
- Losing consciousness
- Feeling suicidal
- Sustaining moderate to severe burns
- Serious head, neck, or back injury
- Any level of paralysis
- Severe abdominal pain
- Severe chest pain
- Difficulty drawing breath
- Symptoms of stroke
