Get Urgent Care in Washington

Yes, you can book an urgent care telemedicine appointment in Washington. Many conditions that are treated at an in-person urgent care clinic can also be treated at a virtual urgent care appointment. Urgent care can treat non-severe injuries, illnesses, and infections. Examples include fever, flu, cold, sore throat, and infections. However, there are some conditions that cannot be treated during an online urgent care appointment and need to be treated in person. All emergency or life-threatening conditions should be treated immediately at the ER.

The question of going to urgent care or the ER depends on the severity of your injury or illness. If you are having a life-threatening medical emergency, you need to go to the ER immediately or call an ambulance. Examples of conditions that should be treated at the ER include severe shortness of breath, chest pains, and serious wounds and burns. If you can wait 24 hours for care, then urgent care is likely the best option. Some of the most common conditions that urgent care doctors treat are: 

• UTI

• Strep Throat

• Ear Infections

• Sinus Infection

• Bacterial Infection

• Common Cold

• Flu

• Pink Eye

• STDs

Urgent care is for non-emergency medical conditions that need immediate attention in the next 24 hours. Typically, it is not possible to make an appointment with your primary care provider, so urgent care is another option. The emergency room (ER) is for serious, critical injuries and illnesses that need immediate medical attention, such as major wounds, serious burns, and chest pains.
