Need Immediate Care? Urgent Care in Acton MA, When You Need It

You should consider visiting Acton and Canton Urgent Care if you or a loved one are experiencing:

• Minor illnesses such as colds, flu symptoms, sore throats, or ear infections
• Minor cuts or lacerations that may need stitches
• Mild asthma attacks
• Sprains, strains, or simple fractures
• Mild allergic reactions
• Minor burns or rashes
• The need for diagnostic services like X-rays or lab tests for non-urgent conditions

Our experienced medical team is ready to provide timely and effective treatment for these and many other minor to moderate health concerns, so you can feel better faster without the long wait times often found in the emergency room.

However, for serious or life-threatening conditions—such as chest pain, severe shortness of breath, signs of stroke (sudden numbness, weakness, confusion, or trouble speaking), severe bleeding, head injuries with loss of consciousness, major trauma, seizures, or sudden, severe pain—the emergency room is the safest place for you.

When you or your loved ones are faced with minor illnesses or injuries, Acton and Canton Urgent Care offers a fast, reliable, and cost-effective alternative to hospital emergency rooms. Here’s why patients throughout our community trust us for their urgent medical needs.

Acton Urgent Care is dedicated to providing medical assistance outside the standard hours of regular primary care offices. With extended evening hours and weekend availability, our clinics offer a convenient option for patients in need of prompt care for non-life-threatening medical issues when their primary care provider is unavailable. We are equipped to treat a wide range of urgent health concerns, such as minor injuries, illnesses, infections, and more. However, we are not equipped to handle severe, life-threatening emergencies such as heart attacks, strokes, or major trauma. In those cases, it is critical to call 911 or go directly to the nearest emergency room. To confirm our current hours of operation—including any changes during holidays or unexpected closures—please visit our official website or contact either our Acton or Canton clinic directly before your visit.

At Acton and Canton Urgent Care, you can receive prescription medications as part of your visit. When you come to our clinic for a medical concern, our experienced healthcare providers will evaluate your symptoms, perform a thorough examination, and may order any necessary tests. If it is determined that medication is needed to treat your condition, our providers are authorized to write you a prescription, which you can fill at the pharmacy of your choice.

Our urgent care centers are here to treat a wide variety of acute conditions such as infections, minor injuries, allergic reactions, and other non-life-threatening issues that require timely attention. Depending on your diagnosis, our providers can prescribe a range of medications, including antibiotics, antivirals, pain relievers, inhalers, and more. 

It’s important to remember that urgent care is not a replacement for regular primary care, especially for ongoing management of chronic illnesses. If you need refills for maintenance medications or require specialized prescriptions, we recommend following up with your primary care provider. Additionally, the ability to receive certain prescriptions may vary based on Massachusetts state laws and our clinic’s specific policies.
