Urgent Care Q & A

What is urgent care?

Urgent care provides immediate treatment for potentially serious but non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses. If you come down with the flu or injure yourself while playing sports, visit Pro MedTC, LLC, right away. By receiving prompt care, you can speed up your body’s healing process and prevent more serious issues.

Does urgent care treat heart attacks?

No. If you experience a life-threatening medical emergency, like a stroke or a heart attack, call 911 or visit your nearest emergency room immediately. Urgent care provides treatment for many minor issues, but hospitals perform life-saving interventions.

What does an urgent care appointment involve?

At ProMedTC, LLC, an urgent care appointment begins with a review of your medical history and a discussion of your symptoms. Next, Tymur conducts a physical exam. If these measures don’t provide enough information to make a diagnosis, he might also order laboratory testing or diagnostic imaging like X-rays or an MRI.

After making a diagnosis, Tymur develops a custom treatment plan. That might include getting plenty of rest and drinking lots of water or taking a prescription medication and returning to the office a week later for a check-up. Ultimately, the goal of urgent care is to minimize uncomfortable symptoms and help your body heal.
