Why We Stay Open Late and on Weekends

Life doesn’t wait until Monday morning to throw curveballs. I’ve had patients tell me stories like, “My kid only seems to spike a fever at 9 pm on Fridays.” If you’ve ever been in that situation, you know the panic. That’s exactly why our team is here beyond standard office hours. According to a source, more than 89 million patient visits happen each year at urgent care centers in the U.S., with many of those visits outside typical office hours. That’s a clear sign that people need flexible care.

What Makes Garden City Urgent Care Different

We take pride in offering a personal touch. At our urgent Care center, we don’t rush you through the process. Our staff listens carefully, treats you respectfully, and ensures you leave feeling better than when you walked in. Unlike crowded emergency rooms, we keep wait times short.

Conditions We Commonly Treat

From ear infections and flu symptoms to cuts that need a few stitches, our urgent care center handles a wide variety of non-life-threatening issues. We also provide care for:

• Sprains and minor fractures
• Allergies and asthma flare-ups
• Infections such as strep throat or urinary tract infections
• Sports injuries
• Rashes and skin conditions

If you’re unsure whether your condition is right for urgent care, the rule of thumb is this: if it’s not life-threatening but can’t wait for a regular doctor visit, we’ve got you covered.

Benefits of Visiting Our Urgent Care Instead of the ER

Emergency rooms are important, but they’re not always the best choice for minor issues. Did you know that according to a source, the average ER visit in the U.S. costs between $1200 to $1,300? By contrast, most urgent care visits are a fraction of that—often under $200 with insurance. On top of that, ER wait times can stretch for hours, while our patients usually see a provider within 30 minutes.

Affordable and Transparent Pricing

We know medical costs can feel overwhelming. That’s why we keep our Urgent Care Service in Garden City affordable and upfront. Whether you have insurance or not, we’ll walk you through the costs so there are no surprises.

Statistics That Show Why Urgent Care Matters

Here are a few numbers that put things in perspective:

• 60% of ER visits could be treated at urgent care, according to a report from the National Center for Health Statistics
• 88% of patients who visit urgent care centers are seen within an hour, reported by the Urgent Care Association
• Urgent care centers have grown to more than 14,000 locations nationwide, showing just how much communities rely on them
