Prime Urgent Care offers enhanced services to better meet the needs of patients

Prime Urgent Care, a walk-in urgent care facility, has long offered fast services and affordable care for residents of the greater Pearland region. Prime Urgent Care is now offering enhanced services to better meet the needs of its patients.

Help with Acute Injuries

Acute injuries require immediate medical assistance, but they don't always require surgery or even a visit to the emergency room. ER copays are higher than the copays for urgent care, so patients are encouraged to utilize an urgent care center whenever possible. The team at Prime Urgent Care of Pearland can handle the following services:

• IV fluids can be used to treat dehydration in patients over the age of 18.
• Physicians can provide stitches for most wounds and lacerations
• X-rays for strains, sprains and factures. They can have the images read while patients wait, which allows them to provide people with the medical care they need, such as a splint or crutches. If surgery or more advanced services are required, they can send the X-rays to the appropriate doctor and hospital.
• Minor car accidents often have minor injuries. The team at Prime Urgent Care can treat those injuries and send the bill directly to the insurance company.
• Abscesses are painful and must be treated properly. Prime Urgent Care is equipped to drain and treat the abscesses, household burns, and more.

Assistance with Illnesses

Allergies, colds, the flu, ear and sinus infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, and other conditions can all make people miserable. Rather than waiting for the doctor's office to open in the morning, patients can visit Prime Urgent Care to receive prescriptions for antibiotics or other important medications. This allows people throughout Pearland to receive fast treatment and enjoy relief from painful symptoms.

Labwork and Tests

When the doctor calls for lab tests, EKGs, and other tests, patients may dread the thought of driving to the hospital and walking through the maze of hallways. With Prime Urgent Care, patients can visit their smaller facility and enjoy more personal service. They can visit the Urgent Care at a time that is convenient for them, and they may save money in the process. The facilities at the Pearland Urgent Care are more affordable than most hospitals, and patients appreciate how fast the service is.
