What Is Urgent Care?
In a perfect world, you’d always be able to visit your primary care physician whenever you feel sick, sprain your ankle, or have a nagging cough that just won’t seem to go away. However, there may be times when your doctor can’t squeeze you in for a last-minute appointment, or you’re on vacation far from your regular doctor’s office when the need for medical care arises. You want to get on the road to recovery as soon as possible, yet you don’t want to sit for hours in a hospital emergency room waiting to see a doctor or pay the typically higher costs of emergency room care. This is where urgent care medicine can come to the rescue. Urgent care centers, also known as walk-in clinics, can provide high-quality medical treatment for non-life-threatening illnesses, usually with shorter wait times and at a lower cost than similar care at an emergency room.
Are All Urgent Care Clinics Alike?
Although the general idea behind urgent care centers is pretty much the same, there can be huge differences in the patient experience and quality of medical care available at various walk-in clinics. At Cape Regional Urgent Care, we stand out from our competitors in Cape May County, New Jersey, in many ways, including:
- Offering treatment from board-certified physicians, all of whom have many years of experience practicing medicine
- Providing a welcoming patient reception experience, with a friendly staff, a beverage bar in the waiting room, and free WiFi
- Consulting with patients in the privacy of pleasant, individual exam rooms – not curtained-off spaces
- Having common medications on hand to dispense to patients at no cost to them, so they can start their recovery instead of waiting for a pharmacy to fill their prescriptions
- Accepting many forms of payment and insurance, so as to make paying for health care as convenient and affordable as possible
