At Memorial Primary & Urgent Care, we provide immediate medical attention for conditions that are not life-threatening but still require prompt care. Our facility is prepared to address a diverse range of health issues, ensuring you get the care you need when you need it.
• Non-Urgent Injuries: Our team is equipped to treat minor injuries such as sprains, strains, minor fractures, and cuts, even those requiring stitches.
• Infectious Diseases: We can handle various infections including urinary tract infections, skin infections, eye infections, and upper respiratory infections. We are also prepared to address sexually transmitted infections, colds, and flu.
• Gastrointestinal Issues: We are also adept at handling illnesses like stomach viruses, providing relief and appropriate treatment.
• Respiratory Conditions: We provide treatment for chronic conditions experiencing flare-ups, such as asthma and COPD.
• Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat Problems: Our experienced staff can treat eye infections, earaches, sore throats, and sinus infections effectively.
• Minor Burns and Sunburns: We are proficient in treating minor burns, particularly first-degree and minor second-degree burns, as well as sunburns.
• Other Conditions: We can address minor allergic reactions that are not life-threatening, such as bee stings, food allergies, or allergies to medications. We can treat fever, minor dehydration, and rashes, and provide treatment for migraines.
Beyond these, we offer diagnostic services. This includes laboratory testing for various diseases, X-rays for diagnosing fractures and infections, and basic blood work. We conduct pregnancy tests, STD tests, and drug or alcohol screenings.
Memorial Primary & Urgent Care also provides physical exams, including sports physicals, and routine immunizations.
The nature and severity of your condition also play a role in determining your wait time. Like emergency rooms, Memorial Primary & Urgent Care prioritizes patients based on the severity of their condition. Therefore, if your condition is non-life-threatening, you might experience a longer wait time if other patients have more severe conditions.
To minimize your wait time, consider calling ahead to reserve a spot in line, check in online, arrive early, or visit during off-peak hours. If possible, opt for a virtual appointment, which can eliminate wait times.
• Medical History: Bring along all relevant medical documents. This includes a list of your current medications, known allergies, your primary care doctor’s contact information, medical records from previous related visits, and a history of your vaccinations. This information allows our staff to understand your overall health and determine the best course of treatment.
• Current Symptoms and Concerns: If you’re experiencing specific symptoms, write down a detailed description including their onset, duration, severity, and any associated factors. Also note any recent activities or exposures that may be relevant. This will help your healthcare provider diagnose and treat you more accurately.
• Personal Essentials: Wear comfortable clothing and footwear. Bring snacks or drinks to sustain you during your wait, a book or other form of entertainment to pass the time, and a phone charger if available.
• Insurance and Payment Information: Remember to bring a method of payment. Even with insurance, there may be copays, deductibles, or additional fees that need to be covered.
When you visit Memorial Primary & Urgent Care, our goal is to provide you with the best possible care in a timely manner. We understand that medical situations can be stressful, so here’s what you can expect during your visit with us.
Upon arrival, our friendly receptionists will greet you and ask for your personal details, insurance information, medical history, current medications, and a brief explanation of your current health issue. We recommend coming prepared with all the necessary information to facilitate a smooth process.
Depending on the reason for your visit, you may be required to fill out some paperwork. Our dedicated staff is always ready to assist you with this process. Once completed, a nurse or medical assistant will call you in to take your basic vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature, and ask more detailed questions about your health issue. Your accurate and detailed responses help us in understanding your situation better.
After the initial evaluation, a healthcare provider – typically a physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant- will review your symptoms, conduct a physical examination, and may order diagnostic tests such as blood tests, X-rays, EKG, or other imaging studies depending on your symptoms.
If a prescription is required, we can usually send it directly to your pharmacy, providing clear instructions on how to take it. We may also provide you with self-care instructions to manage your symptoms at home. In cases where specialized care is required, we can refer you to a specialist or a hospital.
