What Should I Expect at Columbia Clinic & Urgent Care?

Unlike a primary care physician, no appointment is needed to be seen by a doctor at Columbia Urgent Care. Simply walk in when you need treatment, and you’ll be seen as soon as possible. We’ll do our best to let you know what the expected wait time is.

Generally, anything you would visit your primary care doctor for, you can visit our doctors as well. Many times, our patients visit our clinic because their regular doctor is unavailable, and they need something right now. Some of these services can include x-rays, lab work, physicals, or medication for a bad cold. We can also treat lacerations, and simple fractures, and can test you for a variety of illnesses.

Our urgent care center can treat you for many nonlife-threatening illnesses, injuries, and conditions, including:

– Cuts
– Fractures
– STD Testing
– Physicals
– Pre-Employment Physicals
– Abdominal Pain
– Sprains & Strains
– Dislocations
– Flu Shots
– Immunizations

How expensive your visit to our walk-in clinic is going to depend on what you would like to be examined for and the nature of your insurance. In many cases, the walk-in clinic will be more expensive than your regular doctor, but less costly than an emergency room. Check with your insurance carrier to see what their rates are for urgent care centers.

Urgent Care is better in some respects than an ER. The doctors and staff at our clinic are just as skilled as the ones you would find in a hospital. Getting treated for a nonlife-threatening illness or injury, such as sprains and the flu, is much more cost-effective at our clinic compared to an ER. It will take less time and money, and you can be on your way quicker. Conditions like breathing issues or a heart condition are best treated at a hospital emergency room.

Your insurance carrier determines the copay for an urgent care center visit. Generally, this copay is around $100.
