Express Care FAQs:
What is Express Care?
Express care fills an important healthcare gap when you need immediate care but not the level of care available in an emergency department. With on-site lab and X-ray equipment, Express Care can handle more severe conditions and injuries, such as broken bones and burns. Express care centers are also usually open longer hours than a doctor’s office and a visit often costs much less than the emergency room due to the level and efficiency of the care provided.
Do I need an appointment for Express Care?
No appointment is necessary to visit an Express Care center.
How to make the right choice for my type of Immediate Care?
Trust your instincts. If you feel it’s serious, go to the nearest Emergency Department. For more minor issues, waiting to see your primary care provider or visiting a walk in clinic like Wentworth-Douglass Prompt Care – which is equipped to care for minor conditions without the need to wait for an appointment may be your best option. When it comes to treating life’s small emergencies, local urgent care centers like Wentworth-Douglass Express care are a great choice for fast, affordable and quality care.
