If my primary care physician’
s offi
ce is closed, or it’
s the weekend, how do I know if I should wait for an appointment, go to
an urgent care or to a hospital emergency department?
The decision can sometimes be a little daunting, but a good rule of thumb is to trust your instincts. While cost and convenience are top of mind for many healthcare consumers
these days, never compromise your health for these reasons alone. If you have had particular symptoms for several days or longer, chances are you could wait to see your primary
care physician. Acute injuries, like sprains, strains, eye injuries, burns and cuts are best treated soon. If you are concerned about an acute infection and cannot be seen by your
doctor within 24 hours, that would also be a great reason to be seen in a certifi
ed urgent care. If you are having a serious potentially life-threatening issue like chest pain, extreme
diffi
culty breathing or any stroke-like symptoms, immediately call 911 or proceed to your closest ER. When your condition is urgent, but less serious, Lakes Urgent Care can save
you time and money. Insurance co-pays can be much more expensive at a hospital ER. And you may wait for a long time in a hospital ER for minor health concerns. At Lakes
Urgent Care, you’
ll be seen quickly by a highly trained physician. And by visiting us, you’
ll help keep the ER free to concentrate on more seriously ill patients.
I see a lot of urgent care facilities around now. Do they all provide the same services?
All urgent cares are NOT created equal and in Michigan, urgent care centers are not regulated. Many facilities holding themselves out to the public as an urgent care do not
actually qualify under the national guidelines of the Urgent Care Association of America (UCA). Always seek out an urgent care that is certifi
ed or accredited by the UCA.
Lakes Urgent Care was one of the fi
rst certifi
ed urgent cares in southeastern Michigan accredited by the UCA. We hold ourselves to a higher standard
because our patients deserve the best and most comprehensive care possible at a lower cost than visiting a hospital’
s ER.
What makes Lakes Urgent Care different?
At Lakes Urgent Care, we provide a very wide array of treatments including on-site lab testing, digital radiology, EKG’
s, pulmonary testing and
treatments in addition to IV therapies which most urgent cares do not provide. We like to call it “ER Lite”, where you are seen by physicians with
training in emergency medicine who have access to many of the capabilities of the ER without the wait or cost. To learn more about all the great care
we provide, visit our website, lakesurgentcare.com, where you will fi
nd comprehensive information and resources to help you. We also have a page on
our website called “Urgent Care or ER” where you will fi
nd an easy to read graphic that we created in conjunction with the Greater Detroit Area Health
Council. And stop by our offi
ce anytime and pick up a free “Urgent Care or ER” magnet graphic to display in your home, school or offi
ce.
