Urgent Care vs. Emergency Room
When a medical issue arises, it is recommended to first contact your primary care physician (PCP) as they have the most knowledge of your history and condition. However, if your PCP is unavailable or you are experiencing a serious illness, receiving treatment at an urgent care clinic or emergency department (ER) may be more appropriate.
