Why visit Patient First for urgent care?

When you do not feel well, the last thing you want to do is wait to be seen by a physician. Patient First provides efficient service that meets your medical needs as well as your schedule. You do not have to wait for an appointment to feel better - simply walk in and see a doctor at Patient First. Our extended night, weekend, and holiday hours mean you never have to miss work or school. Not only can you walk in, the time waiting to see the doctor at our urgent care centers is usually significantly less than at the hospital emergency room. Patient First bridges the gap between the Emergency Room and your primary care physician. We routinely care for 60% of diagnoses seen in the ER, but at a fraction of the cost. We also care for routine primary care office visit diagnoses. At your request, we will forward a copy of your visit record to your primary care physician. Patient First provides convenient medical care that can often be completed within a single visit, thanks to our wide range of services that are available on-site, including the following:

• X-rays
• Lab testing
• Prescription drugs

Do you have a sore throat? Our on-site lab provides immediate strep test results. Are you concerned your arm may be broken? Our on-site x-ray capability allows us to make that determination. Do you have a sinus infection and do not feel like driving to the pharmacy? Your Patient First physician can dispense prescriptions on-site. Bottom line: Patient First saves you time, so you can return home and begin the healing process more quickly.
