Walk-In Clinic in Riverview, FL

Our healthcare team provides a broad range of essential services for those times when you need immediate attention, can’t get an appointment with your regular doctor, or don’t have a primary care physician. Our services include:

• Acute Illness Treatment: We manage minor injuries and common illnesses such as colds, flu, ear infections, urinary tract infections, skin rashes, minor cuts and burns, sprains and strains.
• Preventive Care and Health Screenings: We offer services such as physical exams, blood pressure checks, cholesterol screenings, blood sugar tests, and vaccinations. We also offer sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing and treatment.
• Chronic Condition Management: Our staff can help monitor and treat ongoing conditions like diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and asthma. While we can assist with managing these conditions, we recommend regular visits to your primary care physician.
• Occupational Health Services: We provide services like drug testing, workers’ compensation evaluations, and pre-employment physicals to help employers ensure the health and safety of their workforce.
• Lab and X-ray Services: We have on-site X-ray and laboratory services, allowing for quicker diagnosis and treatment of various conditions. This can include routine laboratory testing, such as bloodwork, urine analysis, and pregnancy tests.
• Referrals: If you need more specialized care or further diagnostic testing, we can provide referrals to specialists or hospitals.

A walk-in urgent care center like Quality Urgent Care is designed to address non-life-threatening conditions that require prompt attention. These include:

• Minor injuries like burns, cuts, strains, sprains, and bruises.
• Acute illnesses such as strep throat, the flu, or a viral stomach bug.
• Skin conditions such as rashes, bug bites, or eczema.
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs).
• Sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
• Minor gynecological issues.
• Minor gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea and constipation.
• Minor orthopedic concerns.

In contrast, an emergency room is equipped to handle severe and life-threatening conditions. These include medical emergencies like severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, head injury with loss of consciousness, seizures, and stroke symptoms like facial droop, arm weakness, and difficulty speaking.

Another factor to consider when choosing urgent care or an emergency room is the wait time. At emergency rooms, patients are prioritized based on the severity of their condition, meaning you may experience a longer wait time if visiting with a minor condition. In contrast, urgent care operates on a first-come, first-served basis, often resulting in much shorter wait periods.

Finally, cost can be a determining factor. The cost of visiting an emergency room is usually significantly higher than that of a walk-in clinic. Therefore, for non-emergency situations, going to a walk-in clinic is the more affordable option.

Some essential items to bring and considerations to keep in mind when going to a walk-in urgent care center:

Identification and Insurance: Be sure to bring your identification, like a driver’s license or another type of valid government-issued picture ID. This is necessary for registration and verification of personal information at our clinic. If you have insurance, bring your information with you, as this allows for a faster billing process and ensures that your medical costs are covered by your insurance provider.

Payment Options: Bring your preferred method of payment for any co-pays or medical costs not covered by insurance.

Medical History and Symptom Information: If possible, bring relevant medical records or recent test results. These documents can provide our healthcare providers with necessary context about your health and any ongoing medical issues. Carry a list of any medications you’re currently taking, including the dosage and frequency. This information will help our healthcare providers assess your medical history accurately and formulate appropriate treatment plans. We suggest jotting down a list of your symptoms before you arrive at the clinic, including their onset, severity, and any triggers. This information can help your healthcare provider diagnose accurately. Be ready to share any known allergies or sensitivities to medications, foods, or environmental triggers, and provide a brief history of previous surgeries, hospitalizations, or chronic medical conditions.

At Quality Urgent Care, we accept insurance. To determine if your health plan is in-network with our providers, reach out to our friendly team. Our staff will verify your coverage and help you understand our billing process.

Please note that even if you have insurance, there could be out-of-pocket costs depending on your insurance plan’s deductible, copayment, or coinsurance terms. In addition, if you do not have medical insurance or the services you need are not covered, we provide affordable self-pay options. If you’re unsure about your coverage, you should contact your insurance provider for detailed information about your plan’s benefits and any potential costs for using walk-in urgent care services.
