Urgent Care Q & A

Is urgent care the same thing as the emergency room?

Urgent care isn’t the same thing as the emergency room (ER). ERs treat life-threatening medical conditions, like heart attacks, strokes, and aneurysms. What’s more, they see patients based on their level of need. As a result, you might have to wait hours to see a doctor if someone comes in with a more serious issue.

Pro-Health Urgent Care of Midland has extended hours on nights and weekends, ensuring easy access to care. The providers accept most types of health insurance and visitors rarely have to wait longer than 30 minutes to meet with a member of the staff.

What happens during an urgent care visit?

At Pro-Health Urgent Care of Midland, an urgent care visit begins with a review of your medical records and a discussion of your symptoms. Next, your provider conducts a physical exam. If you have a sore throat or a runny nose, they might also order COVID-19 testing or a strep culture. If you have a swollen or stiff joint, they might order X-rays to see if there’s a fracture.

After determining the source of your discomfort, your Pro-Health Urgent Care of Midland provider develops a custom treatment plan. Depending on your needs, that might include getting plenty of rest, ice and heat therapy, or taking prescription medication.
