When should I visit the Urgent Care Center?

Hospital emergency departments treat patients with the most serious conditions first, so patients with less urgent needs will often wait longer to see a doctor. Our Urgent Care in South Windsor provides immediate treatment for less serious conditions as well as when your physician is not available. Our Urgent Care Center also offers healthcare services like wound sutures and x-rays for injuries, to eliminate the need for a hospital visit.
