When to Use Urgent Care?

Urgent care is the fast, convenient alternative to the Emergency Room (ER) for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries. Choose urgent care when you need same-day treatment for issues like the flu, strep throat, sprains, minor cuts, or infections (such as UTIs or ear infections). We offer extended evening and weekend hours, on-site diagnostics (like X-rays and labs), and no appointments are needed, ensuring you get the expert care you need immediately, but without the high cost and long wait times of the ER. For more information, contact us or schedule an appointment online. We have convenient locations to serve you in Canton, MA and Acton, MA.

Do you know the best place to go when you’re sick?

We’ve all been there: what began as a tiny cough in the morning has become a full-blown fever, headache, and sore throat overnight. You know you need to see a doctor, but your primary care provider is booked through the week. Learn how an urgent care center can help.

Emergency Room

The Emergency Room is equipped to treat minor injuries or illnesses, but you’ll likely end up waiting much longer and paying a lot more than you would at an urgent care. A visit to the emergency department should be reserved for true medical emergencies, such as trauma, surgical procedures, and life threatening situations.

• Heart attack or stroke
• Chest pain
• Head injury
• Severe trauma
• Open fractures
• Uncontrolled bleeding
• Poisoning
• Severe burns
