Urgent care is an increasingly popular alternative to the emergency room. This rising trend has occurred for several reasons. Perhaps most importantly, the waiting times at urgent cares are often much lower than in most ER’s. This is even more true if your condition is triaged as “not urgent”, which can leave you sitting in the ER waiting room for hours.
Secondly, urgent cares are much more affordable than emergency rooms, which can be a very important factor depending on the type of insurance and co-pay arrangements you have. Of course, for serious, life-threatening emergencies you should still choose the ER, however for everything else you should consider your local urgent care center.
