Emergencies

How does urgent care compare to the emergency room at a hospital?

At ER QuickCare, many of the very same conditions treated in an emergency room can be treated outside a hospital setting. Emergency rooms typically require very long waits and are extremely costly in most cases. Thus, emergency rooms are best reserved for use only in life-threatening emergency situations. As an urgent and emergency care provider, ER QuickCare has much of the same equipment a hospital emergency room has, including a digital X-ray system, and a CLIA-certified laboratory.

Urgent and emergency care at ER QuickCare can provide a wide range of care, including treatment for:

• Strep throat
• Asthma
• Bronchitis
• Dehydration
• Diarrhea
• Workplace accident injuries
• Auto accident injuries
• Strep throat
• Flu
• Lacerations
• Burns
• Fractures
• General wound care

Nearly any type of care you may need is provided on-site at ER QuickCare. The office is open seven days a week because the medical team fully understands that emergencies aren’t limited to weekdays.

What sets the emergency care at ER QuickCare apart from other urgent care centers?

ER QuickCare stands apart from other urgent care centers in several very important ways, including:

• ER QuickCare is the only Collier or Lee county urgent care provider certified by the Urgent Care Association of America
• Every patient is seen by a full-time board-certified physician.
• No physician extenders like nurse practitioners or physician assistants are used at ER QuickCare
• The ER QuickCare laboratory is CLIA-certified and has similar equipment when compared to hospital emergency rooms
• The three physicians at ER QuickCare have 50 combined years of emergency room experience
