What is urgent care?
Southern Colorado Urgent Care is a convenient alternative when your regular clinic is closed or you can't see your doctor as soon as you would like. SCC Urgent Care is for non-emergency problems such as sore throats, ear infections, minor burns, or cuts and bruises. More serious injuries or illnesses are best treated at an emergency department. Contact your primary care physician for chronic problems like depression or diabetes.
If possible, you should call your own doctor before seeking treatment. Your doctor knows your medical history and can guide you to the most appropriate place for care and can provide follow-up care after an urgent care visit.
SCC Urgent Care is open every night and weekends. You do not need to be a regular SCC patient. No appointment is necessary. Just walk in and receive care when you need it most.
Who will care for me?
SCC Urgent Care is staffed with experienced physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners. Each urgent care is equipped with laboratory and diagnostic X-ray services.
How long will I have to wait?
Urgent care patients are generally treated on a first-come, first-served basis. While every attempt will be made to see you as quickly as possible, wait times will be based on the number of people seeking care as well as the seriousness of their condition.
What if I'm not sure where to go?
You can always call SCC Urgent Care for advice. They can also help you find the SCC Urgent Care closest to you and tell the staff that you are coming.
What happens after I leave urgent care?
You will be advised about all follow-up procedures and notified about any abnormal lab work or X-rays. A complete record of your treatment may also be sent to your primary care physician, who can provide any necessary follow-up care.
What forms of insurance and payment do you accept?
SCC Urgent Care accepts most health plans, cash, personal checks, Visa, and MasterCard.
When should I go to the emergency room?
Urgent care is not a substitute for emergency care. You should use a hospital's emergency department for very serious or life-threatening problems. If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, don't wait! Call 911 or get to your nearest hospital emergency room:
Chest pain
Severe abdominal pain
Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
Sudden dizziness, weakness or loss of coordination or balance
Sudden blurred vision
Numbness in the face, arm or leg
Sudden, severe headache
