      Urgent Care

      What Is Urgent Care at FamilyDoctorLive?

      This isn’t an ER. And it’s not a strip-mall urgent care with fluorescent lights and a 2-hour wait. This is quick-access, physician-led care for simple, time-sensitive health issues — available by telehealth, in-office, or in select cases, at home.
      Think of it as your personal urgent care without the overwhelm, focused on the stuff that just can’t wait… but doesn’t need a hospital.

      No facility fee. No rushed visit. Just fast, thoughtful help from a real doctor who’s got the skills and the time.


      What We Treat

      Our urgent care is great for minor but urgent issues — things that are uncomfortable, getting worse, or need a small procedure.

      Common things we handle:

      • Infections – sinus, UTI, skin, minor wound infections

      • Minor injuries – cuts, scrapes, bruises, sprains

      • Sutures (stitches) for small lacerations

      • Abscess treatment – incision and drainage of simple abscesses

      • Ear wax impactions – ear flushes and evaluation

      • Rashes – allergic reactions, irritations

      • Cold & flu symptoms – sore throat, fever, body aches

      • GI issues – nausea, vomiting, diarrhea

      • Medication refills – short-term bridging (as clinically appropriate)


      What We Don’t Offer (Yet)

      Just so we’re clear — this is streamlined urgent care, not a full facility. We don’t have X-rays or labs on site, and we don’t do major procedures.

      We do not offer:

      • Imaging (X-ray, CT, ultrasound)

      • Casting or splinting of fractures

      • IV fluids or medications

      • Hospital-level interventions

      • Emergency services (chest pain, severe injuries, breathing issues)

      If you’re not sure whether we can help — text us first. We’ll tell you straight up.


      How It Works

      1. Reach Out Fast
        Text, call, or request a visit online. We’ll assess quickly and help you decide on telehealth, in-office, or home visit.

      2. Get Seen — Usually Same Day
        If it’s something we can handle, we’ll see you quickly. No portal black hole. No "next Tuesday at 3pm."

      3. Walk Away With a Plan
        Whether it's a prescription, wound care, or simply peace of mind, you’ll leave with next steps and follow-up support.
