Sometimes it’s difficult to determine the extent of sickness or injury a person has, which makes it hard to decide where to take the patient for treatment. After all, patients seek doctors for various reasons and, depending on the severity of the condition, there are a number of places they can go to: an emergency room, their primary care physician, an urgent care clinic, or some other health center.
Facilities for urgent care in Sunnyvale and other areas nearby are a better alternative to the emergency department when the patient is in dire need of professional medical help but is not in a life-threatening situation. One benefit is saving time. If the patient doesn’t have to wait hours on end at the emergency room, waiting behind those with real emergencies, he or she can save a lot of time. These facilities are very versatile and can treat urgent minor conditions like cuts and sprains, a slight fever, lacerations, fractures and more.
