Urgent Care Clinic in Santa Clara, CA

Urgent care is one of 3 options for healthcare. The other two options are your primary physician and the emergency room (ER). Urgent care can be the better option when your ailment is minor and not life-threatening but still requires prompt treatment.

Typically, urgent care is more convenient than the other options. This is because you can simply walk right into an urgent care clinic for immediate service. If you go into the ER to have a non-life-threatening ailment treated, then you’ll be considered a lower-priority patient, and you’ll have to wait for service. If you go to your doctor, then you’ll experience wait times too, and you’ll also have to schedule the appointment for a week or more out. Also, urgent care can be less expensive than the other options, especially the ER.

You should go to urgent care when your illness or injury is minor and non-life-threatening but still requires urgent attention. You absolutely must go to the ER if you believe your illness or injury could be major or life-threatening.
