Arlington Urgent Cares Services For Walk-In Patients
We do not require appointments for our Arlington urgent care services. When you come into our office during normal business hours, our receptionist will provide you with the necessary registration and patient intake forms (also available HERE) and request your insurance information. Once checked in, we will take your vitals and one of our primary care physicians will begin necessary treatment. If referrals for specialists are needed, we can get you set up with one of our preferred specialists or the specialist of your choice.
Sometimes it may be necessary to be admitted to the emergency room of the nearest hospital or medical center depending if your condition is deemed life-threatening. If you or a family member is experiencing any of the following conditions, call 911 immediately:
- Severe chest pain
- Difficulty breathing
- Compound fracture (when bone protrudes through the skin)
- Seizures
- Loss of consciousness
- Newborn fever (under 3 months of age)
- Heavy and uncontrollable bleeding
- Severe abdominal pain
- Serious head, neck, or back injury
- Knife (stab) wound
- Gunshot wound
- Signs of heart attack
- Signs of stroke
If you are in doubt as to whether or not your injury or illness is life-threatening, it is best to call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room for evaluation or treatment. Sometimes, even serious conditions may only present mild to moderate symptoms.
