Nearest Urgent Care in Bethany, Oklahoma

Urgent care clinics are designed to reduce the volume of patients that visit the emergency room for non-life-threatening medical concerns. They do this through extended hours, walk-in appointments, and catering to individuals with urgent but non-life-threatening medical situations. Whereas emergency rooms are obligated to prioritize patients according to the severity of their medical concerns, urgent care clinics reroute all life-threatening medical matters to the emergency room. By doing so, urgent care clinics can see patients much more efficiently on a first-come, first-served basis, while also allowing emergency room doctors and nurses to focus exclusively on saving lives.

Not only do urgent care clinics help emergency rooms and patients with pressing but non-life-threatening medical concerns, but they also serve to supplement the services of your primary care physician. In times when it is unrealistic to wait for your primary care physician’s next available appointment, an urgent care clinic can provide same-day appointments for nearly any non-life-threatening medical issue. Typically, urgent care clinics also offer a more comprehensive set of services than most primary care clinics, such as x-rays, EKGs, and lab diagnostic services. 

One of the benefits of urgent care is that you can make an appointment on the spot when you arrive at our clinic! As such, you do not need to make a prior appointment to see a doctor at an urgent care clinic. Most patients are able to see a doctor within 30 minutes of arriving at an urgent care clinic and do not spend more than one hour at the clinic! Of course, if you wish to make a prior appointment, you can do so, but it is unnecessary. At Immediate Care Immediate Care of Oklahoma, we accept walk-in, telemedicine, and in-office appointments!
