5 Medical Services You Didn't Know You Could Get At Urgent Care
Banner Urgent Care facilities make it convenient and easy to get a physical, flu shot and more at a time that works for you.
When dealing with a non-emergency illness or injury, an urgent care facility may the best place to go.
At Banner Urgent Care, you can walk in and be seen the same day with minimal wait and hassle. Most patients are in and out within an hour. No appointment is necessary, but you can reserve a spot online ahead of time to make your wait time even shorter.
Serious injuries and life-threatening conditions should be seen in an emergency department rather than an urgent care center. For many common illnesses and injuries, though, Banner Urgent Care can be a good alternative to waiting to see your regular doctor or rushing to the ER.
If you have a medical emergency, please call 911.
The scope and extent of urgent care services may vary some from one location to another, but all Banner Urgent Care facilities are equipped to treat your standard sprains, minor cuts, colds and sore throats.
