What is urgent care?

Urgent care is an area of medical practice focused on addressing acute care needs. It offers a meeting point between traditional one-on-one health visits and emergency room trips. 

When searching for a primary care provider, many prefer to work with a practitioner who offers urgent care. This ensures that if you or your child experiences a sudden illness or injury, you can turn to a team you already know and trust. 

In urgent care, the central focus is assessing your symptoms and getting you started on a treatment path as quickly as possible. We can send medications and antibiotics right to your pharmacy for same day pick up.

Horseshoe Healthcare is also able to send lab testing referrals to a lab close to you.
