Urgent Care Q & A

When do I need urgent care?

Urgent care services are a life-saver if your regular doctor’s office is closed or the wait for an appointment is too long. If you have a sprained wrist or woke up with a rash or have the flu and it won’t go away, urgent care can treat your symptoms quickly. At LoginClinics, the urgent care program lets patients receive immediate, easy access to health care services most hours of the day.

When do I need emergency care as opposed to urgent care?

Hospital emergency rooms also provide immediate medical care, but usually treat life-threatening conditions, including:

• Convulsions and seizures
• Heavy, uncontrollable bleeding
• Heart attack symptoms
• Stroke symptoms
• Poisonings

Emergency rooms treat patients based on the seriousness of their injury or illness, so if you aren’t experiencing a life-threatening condition, you can save time and money by using the online urgent care services at LoginClinics.

If you use the telemedicine services at LoginClinics but require an in-person exam, Jaclyn or Justin will refer you to the closest urgent care to your location, or emergency department. If your medical condition is an emergency, you should call 9-1-1.

Do I need an appointment?

No, you can get urgent care services and be seen by Jaclyn or Justin without a long wait. If there is no quickly available appointment online, please call 919-679-1880 to schedule sooner.

What kinds of illnesses and injuries can be treated in urgent care?

At LoginClinics, Jaclyn and Justin provide treatment for urgent care needs related to:

• Rashes
• Strep throat
• Poison ivy
• Acid reflux
• Sinus infections
• Urinary tract infections (UTI)
• Bronchitis
• Kidney stones
• Hemorrhoids
• Flu

Symptoms that develop gradually should never be ignored. For example, if you have a cough that isn’t going away and you start to develop other symptoms like a fever or body aches, you might have bronchitis and should login for an urgent care appointment.

What if I need treatments not available at urgent care?

Jaclyn and Justin provide online urgent care (telemedicine) that addresses most minor conditions, but if needed, they can also refer you to a specialist or nearby urgent care facility.
