Urgent Care
Not feeling well and don’t want to wait for an appointment? Urgent care is available with no appointment needed. You and your loved ones can receive urgent care for a variety of reasons — perhaps your child has a persistent cough or sudden fever, or you are experiencing low back pain.

When to go to the Nearest Emergency Department or Call 911:
Not every condition is right for urgent care. An emergency department visit is appropriate for patients with symptoms that require major testing and decision-making to rule out a serious injury or illness. In an emergency department, specialized staff provide care and interpret data to make a diagnosis. If you experience any of the following, please call 911 or visit an emergency department near you.
- Allergic reaction (severe)
- Bleeding you can’t stop
- Chest pain or shortness of breath
- Major injuries and burns
- Pregnant women in labor
- Stomach pain (severe)
Will I be Billed for Urgent Care AND Emergency Care?
If you visit a Ridgeview Clinics location first for Urgent Care or other services and subsequently are sent to a Ridgeview Emergency Department, you will be billed for your clinic visit and the Emergency Department visit separately.
An urgent care visit is never a planned event, and it often interrupts other important activities happening in your daily life. Your health and wellness is important to us and we value your time; therefore, we will make every effort to keep wait times as low as possible.
