What Happens During Your Visit
When you arrive, you will check in and provide information about your symptoms, how long you have been feeling unwell, and any relevant medical history. A medical professional will take your vital signs, listen to your concerns, and perform an exam to identify the cause of your illness. Depending on your symptoms, this may include checking your throat, listening to your lungs, or ordering a rapid test for flu or strep.
After your visit, you will know what is causing your symptoms and have a clear plan for recovery. If medications are prescribed, you will receive instructions on how to take them and what to watch for as you heal. Many patients start feeling better within a day or two once treatment begins.
The focus is on providing accurate diagnosis and practical treatment without unnecessary delays. You will leave with written instructions, any prescriptions you need, and guidance on when to follow up or seek additional care if symptoms do not improve. This type of care is designed for illnesses that need attention but do not require the resources of a hospital emergency department.
Questions You Might Be Wondering About
Many people are unsure whether their symptoms call for urgent care or if they should wait for their regular doctor. These questions help clarify when a walk-in visit makes sense and what you can expect.
What types of illnesses can be treated during a walk-in visit?
You can receive care for respiratory infections, stomach issues, fevers, sore throats, ear infections, urinary tract infections, sinus infections, flu, and other common illnesses that do not involve life-threatening symptoms. If your condition requires advanced imaging or hospitalization, you will be referred to the appropriate facility.
How long does a typical visit take from check-in to discharge?
Most visits are completed in under an hour, depending on the complexity of your symptoms and whether diagnostic tests are needed. Walk-in care is designed to be efficient while still providing thorough evaluation and treatment.
When should I go to urgent care instead of waiting for my primary doctor?
If your symptoms are interfering with your ability to work, sleep, or care for yourself or your family, and you cannot get a same-day appointment with your regular doctor, urgent care is a good option. It is also appropriate for new symptoms that appear outside of office hours.
What should I bring with me when I come in for an illness?
You should bring your insurance card, a photo ID, and a list of any medications you currently take. If you have a known allergy or chronic condition, mention it during check-in so the provider can take that into account during your evaluation.
Will I receive a prescription if I need one?
If your condition requires medication, the provider will send a prescription to the pharmacy of your choice. You will also receive instructions on how to take it, what side effects to watch for, and when you should start feeling better.
Family First Urgent Care is here when you need prompt attention for an illness that is affecting your daily life. Whether you are dealing with a fever that won't break or a cough that is keeping you up at night, walk in and get the care you need without delay.
