White-Wilson Immediate Care Clinic

Similar to urgent care, White-Wilson Immediate Care provides an alternative to going to the Emergency Room for minor injuries and illnesses. Our Immediate Care team are board certified specialists and treat patients for a variety of urgent care needs, such as:

• Urgent illness
• Flu, cold, strep throat, Upper Respiratory conditions, etc.
• Injuries such as sprains and strains, contusions and lacerations
• Skin conditions
• Motor vehicle and Workman's compensation accidents
• New onset inexplicable pain and discomfort
• Minor outpatient surgery for wounds, lesions or foreign body removal

Immediate care is accessible for all ages but should not replace the ER. If you have a fever over 104 degrees and other dangerous symptoms like vomiting, dizziness, confusion, chills, go to the ER instead of urgent care. Ultimately, immediate care services provide patients with robust, quality, and urgent care, saving time and money on ER visits.

As walk-in clinics, immediate care clinics are often confused with urgent care clinics. Urgent and immediate care physicians address the same conditions, but your health insurance benefits may differ. Instead of urgent care clinics, immediate care clinics charge similar doctors' visits. Additional fees may apply for any lab, imaging or procedures needed at the point of service.

Immediate Care Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What is the difference between immediate care, urgent care clinic and walk-in care?

Answer: Immediate care and urgent care facilities are walk-in clinics because they are available when you need to see a doctor or advanced practice clinician right away. Immediate care and urgent care differ in how they bill. Immediate care clinics, such as White-Wilson's Immediate Care Clinics, bill similarly to a physician's office visit.

Question: When should I go to an Immediate care or urgent care clinic?

Answer: Immediate or urgent care facilities treat non-life threatening illnesses and injuries, such as colds, flu, sprains, rashes, etc. If you are experiencing life-threatening symptoms, go directly to your nearest Emergency Room or call 911.
