Athens Urgent Care

Urgent care serves as an alternative to the emergency room for a variety of ailments and injuries. Our Athens urgent care center has extended hours, and is open on the weekend, Mon - Sat 8am - 8pm | Sun 10am - 6pm, so that we can treat as many people as possible.

Urgent care is, more often than not, comprised of walk-in patients who need immediate care, but don't feel as though there condition is serious enough for the emergency room.

Urgent care centers began to open in the 1970's and have grown rapidly to meet the increasing need for them. There is a great public need for unscheduled medical care, which is exactly what Athens urgent care center provides for its patients. One of the main reasons urgent care centers have grown is that they are more affordable than emergency rooms.

Emergency rooms are built for those that are truly suffering from a life-threatening injury or sickness. Short of life-threatening, there are a number of illnesses that people need to treat quickly, but that don't require an ambulance. Chest pains can be a good example of an instance where an urgent care facility is ideal. If the pains aren't bad enough to warrant a visit to the emergency room, but need to be dealt with now, urgent care may be the right choice for you.
