Time-Saving Urgent Care Services for Individuals & Families in Laredo, TX & Surrounding Communities
For prompt and professional non-emergency urgent care services in Laredo, Texas, turn to VitalMed Urgent Care. At our welcoming medical clinics, we diagnose and treat a vast array of non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries for adults and children aged six months and older, allowing many of our patients to avoid an expensive, unpleasant and unnecessary trip to an emergency room. Many of our providers have ER training, so they know the drill. We value your time, and our goal is to get you in and out as quickly as possible while still providing the vital care you need and deserve.
When to Go to Urgent Care
Urgent care vs. an emergency room—which do you need? It’s not always obvious. As a general rule of thumb, we urge you to call 911 or go directly to the nearest hospital emergency room if you experience chest pain, difficulty breathing, uncontrollable bleeding, intense abdominal pain, severe headache, sudden confusion or an inability to see, speak or walk.
On the other hand, a nagging but non-life-threatening illness or injury may also warrant immediate medical attention, even though it does not qualify as a true emergency. Of course, your primary care physician can help, but these medical professionals are generally available only by appointment during normal business hours. Illnesses and injuries don’t always follow a 9-to-5 schedule, and many simply can’t wait several days or weeks to be addressed. That’s where VitalMed comes in.
