What happens during an urgent care visit?

The specifics of your urgent care visit at North Dallas Primary Care Doctors will depend on your urgent care needs. However, you can expect a comprehensive evaluation and treatment plan specific to your needs.

During your evaluation, your provider at North Dallas Primary Care Doctors reviews the reason for your visit, symptoms, onset of symptoms, and cause (if known), as well as your medical history and medication and supplement use. Then, your provider performs a physical exam and may request diagnostic tests to confirm or rule out a diagnosis, such as:

• Rapid strep or flu test
• Bloodwork
• EKG
• Ultrasound
• X-rays

Based on the information gathered during your exam, your provider develops a personalized treatment plan to alleviate symptoms and help you feel more like your usual self. Treatment may include stitching up an open wound, remedies for asthma, or antibiotics to clear up an infection.
