Walk-In Clinic vs. Emergency Room Services for Adults and Children in Somers Point, NJ
When you or your child wakes up with a fever and sore throat, you may try to get a short-notice appointment with your primary care physician. But what if you can’t be seen until the next day, or even later? Do you want to spend that much time worrying whether you or your child has strep throat, the flu, or an illness that’s even worse? Or maybe you’re on a vacation or business trip to New Jersey and your regular doctor simply isn’t available. What do you do? Head to the hospital emergency clinic, where you may have to spend hours in the waiting room before you can see a doctor?
Fortunately, if you’re in the Somers Point area, you’re only about a 10-minute drive from a Cape Regional Urgent Care walk-in clinic. We’re open daily for longer hours than most doctors’ offices, and we offer exceptionally short wait times with no appointment needed. What’s more, if you’re experiencing a non-life-threatening illness or injury, you’re likely to have a better experience at our walk-in clinic than the emergency room. Here’s why:
Our Pleasant, Welcoming Environment
At Cape Regional Urgent Care, we offer a pleasant waiting experience in a beautiful, well-lit facility with free beverages and WiFi. After your short wait, you’ll consult with a doctor in one of our private exam rooms, not a curtained-off corner of a busy emergency clinic.
Board-Certified Doctors With Emergency Clinic Experience
All members of our medical staff have many years of experience in providing urgent care services, and many of them have extensive experience in emergency room settings.
On-Site Services
Our walk-in clinic offers many of the same diagnostic services you’d find at the hospital emergency room, including urinalysis, rapid strep tests, flu and mononucleosis testing, and digital X-rays. We also have an in-house prescription medication dispensary where our patients can get many commonly prescribed medicines for free, which means they can start feeling better fast without making a separate trip to their pharmacy.
Affordable Medical Treatment
At our walk-in clinic, you’re likely to pay less for treatment than you would at the local emergency room, plus we accept many types of insurance and forms of payment.
