What is an urgent care?
A clinic that specializes in the treatment of minor illnesses and injuries for patients of all ages. It is a convenient alternative when you cannot get a timely appointment with your primary doctor, you don't want to wait hours in an emergency department, or your regular clinic is closed.
When should I go to an emergency department instead of Greater Mobile Urgent Care?
Any serious or life threatening problem including but not limited to severe chest pain, abdominal pain, shortness of breath, loss of coordination or sudden weakness/numbness on one side of the body, coughing or vomiting up blood, extensive rectal bleeding, seizures, pregnancy related problems, and snake bites. We do not accept ambulances at our site but if we believe it is necessary for you to be seen emergently in an emergency department setting, we will call for one to transfer you.
Who will take care of me and what services will be provided at the urgent care clinic?
Our board certified physicians have all worked in busy emergency departments previously and will treat you in a prompt, caring and professional manner. We will provide diagnostic tests when needed, including lab and X-ray, and have an on site pharmacy for your medication needs.
What happens when I leave the urgent care?
We will provide medical follow up for your problem, referring to a wide range of medical specialists or primary doctors.
What form of insurance and payment do you accept?
- Blue Cross
- Medicare
- Health Spring
- United Healthcare
- Cigna
- Aetna
- Medicare Complete
- Secure Horizons
- TriCare
- Workmen's Compensation
- Most other commercial carriers
How long will I have to wait?
Generally the wait is less than 20 minutes and the entire visit should take less than an hour.
