Chances are you’ve used a walk-in urgent care clinic for yourself or your child. When you can’t get to your regular doctor for an urgent appointment, a walk-in clinic can be the next best choice. It’s not unusual to see one or two walk-in clinics in your home town alone because they have become so popular in the United States. Many even have late night and weekend hours. This makes it pretty convenient when your child has a fever and you can’t get to your regular doctor or you just can’t sit for hours in an emergency room. That’s why so many people are turning to urgent non-emergency facilities to treat their minor abrasions and cuts, stomach aches and fevers, coughs and sore throats, urinary tract infections and minor infections. However, if you or your loved one has a life-threatening emergency like a heart attack, stroke, head injury, or child who is seizing, an emergency room visit is the first place you’ll need to go. Why? Emergency rooms are equipped to deal with more immediate life-threatening situations and trauma like heart attack, stroke, and prenatal emergencies. If you have a life-threatening emergency like a heart attack or stroke or prenatal distress, you should call 911 right away. Most often you’ll be taken by ambulance to the nearest emergency room. But for less urgent medical situations that are still serious that require immediate attention like a cut that requires stitches, sore throats where strep is suspected and viruses that last longer than a week—an urgent non-emergency facility like Hillsboro Urgent Care is always there to help. Our board-certified physicians and medical staff are proud to offer only the highest –quality non-emergency care in the community.
Why should you choose a walk-in clinic in Deerfield Beach?
In the past, when you had minor aches and pains, a fever or minor abrasion that could not wait until your regular doctor could schedule you in, you would race on down to the local emergency room, check-in with a very overstressed emergency room nurse and then proceed to sit down and take your place in line with about 100 other patients seated in the cold emergency room waiting room. Unless you had a severe head injury, you could count on spending your entire Saturday or many hours in the evening (into the morning), just waiting to be called.
Here are 4 important reasons why you should choose a walk-in clinic in Deerfield Beach over an emergency room:
- Less germs. When you are sitting around waiting in an emergency room, so are lots of other people with various degrees of contagion. Also, just being in a hospital setting leaves you susceptible to all kinds of germs and nasty bacteria. When you choose Hillsboro Urgent Care, you can rest assured that you’ll be waiting in our spacious air-conditioned waiting area leaving you less susceptible to flu, strep throat and other contagious diseases.
- Spacious waiting rooms. When you enter our walk-in clinic in Deerfield Beach, you can rest assured that you won’t be sitting close to hundreds of patients waiting to be seen by stressed-out emergency room doctors who have probably been up for 36 hours straight.
- Shorter wait times. When you visit Hillsboro Urgent Care you won’t be waiting long at all. Wait times average 10 to 15 minutes, whereas in an emergency room you literally have no idea how long you’ll be there and mist often it will be quite a few hours.
- Usually available for after-work appointments and on weekends. Our convenient hours and attentive board-certified physicians make it a joy to visit our facility any time of day or night.
