What is Urgent Care?
Urgent care is a focus of health care that addresses unexpected illnesses or injuries that aren’t severe but still require immediate medical attention. HealthWell Family Health offers urgent care services in-office, so you can avoid the long wait times and other hassles of the local emergency room when you’re in pain or not feeling well. The team provides many diagnostic testing services, including COVID-19 testing on-site to confirm your diagnosis. They also create treatment plans to resolve your symptoms so you can recover more efficiently.
If you get injured or aren’t feeling well, you can rely on the urgent care services available at HealthWell Family Health. Nina Aronov, FNP-BC, and the medical team take an integrative approach to managing your urgent health care needs. They use advanced technologies to diagnose the cause of your symptoms and customize a care plan to help you feel better fast. If you’re in pain or sick, you can schedule an urgent care appointment online or call the office in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Queens, New York, today.
When should I schedule an urgent care appointment?
The HealthWell Family Health medical team offers urgent care services to handle health issues like burns, colds or flu, high fever, sore throat, cuts or abrasions, persistent cough, skin infections or rashes, or breathing difficulties. You might also need urgent care services if you experience unexplained pain or other symptoms you can't manage on your own. If you have a head injury, a broken bone, or severe pain, seek immediate medical attention at the nearest hospital or call 911.
What happens during an urgent care appointment?
During your urgent care appointment at HealthWell Family Health, the medical team reviews your medical history and listens to your symptoms. They may also complete a physical exam to assess your overall health. Depending on your symptoms, the team may order blood work and other tests to diagnose the cause of your symptoms. They personalize a treatment plan based on your test results to help you get better. For instance, your provider may prescribe medications if you have an infection or a high fever. If you have asthma, you might need in-office breathing treatments. When you have an underlying health issue that requires a higher level of care, the team can refer you to a specialist. During a follow-up visit, the HealthWell Family Health team assesses your progress with treatment and ensures your symptoms are under control. If your symptoms relate to a chronic medical condition like diabetes or hypertension, the medical team can help you manage it in the long term. Call HealthWell Family Health to schedule an urgent care appointment or book an appointment online today.
