Summer

It’s been a hard some for many this year.  Disaster is sticking around the world and there is no end in sight.  From shootings to major department stores  having acts of violence in them.  Places that you once would have assumed were safe, you no longer can.  The grief runs deep and not just in the United States, but around the world.  With wars a rumors of wars.  Summer has brought the unexpected to everyone.  The ‘Dog Days’ of summer is taking on a new meaning.  Clearly when these injuries and violence occur, people have to be taken to the emergency room.  They are given top priority for obvious reasons.

These are extreme events, so what happens if you have something that needs medical attention and you don’t want to go the the emergency room for obvious reason?  What then?  Consider that you always have the option of going to an urgent care.  In most cases they are well staffed and have the same if not better quality of care that comes with going to an emergency room.  Why?  Because urgent cares like Boca Regional Urgent Care are staffed with emergency room doctors.

They have the skill and talent of emergency room doctors because they are emergency room doctors.  So why go to an urgent care?  Consider that they will not be charging you the same outrageous prices that an emergency room visit will cost you.  You also won’t have the 5 hour wait that is known to come from that emergency room visit.  You can even schedule your visit if you’d like. You can still get x-rays and you can still get your prescriptions filled onsite if you’d like.

With all of the advantages that come with going to an urgent care over going to an emergency room, why wouldn’t you want to go to an urgent care.  It just makes sense to visit your local urgent care.
