FAQ
What is the difference between emergency and urgent care?
The difference between emergency and urgent care is that emergency rooms in hospitals treat life-threatening conditions and injuries, whereas urgent care clinics treat illnesses and injuries that require immediate medical attention but are non-life-threatening.
Does Nao Medical urgent care have pediatricians?
Yes. Our urgent care clinics have board-certified pediatricians and pediatric nurses to help check and treat children from birth and up.
Can I take my child to urgent care for non-emergency?
Yes. You can take your child to urgent care for consultations, physicals, primary care, lab tests, and more.
Are urgent care centers open after hours?
Yes. Most of our urgent care centers are open after hours, making health care more accessible for all residents in NYC.
Can urgent care do stitches or should I go to the emergency room?
This depends on how serious the cut is and where the cut is located. Urgent care clinics can provide stitches for shallow cuts that have no torn edges, not spurting bright red blood, and not exposing a joint, vein, or muscle. If the cut has those characteristics, is bleeding profusely even when pressure is applied, and is located on the face or scalp, then it is best to go to the ER.
Should I make an appointment for urgent care?
Not necessarily. Most urgent cares accept walk-in patients. But if you want shorter wait times, you can book an appointment through phone or online.
Can I go to urgent care for non-emergency?
Yes. You can go to urgent care for consultations, physicals, primary care, lab tests, and more.
Can I go to urgent care near me to get tested for COVID?
Yes. You can go to urgent care to get an RT-PCR test, a rapid antigen test, or a COVID antibody test.
Can I pay for my urgent care appointment without insurance?
If you have no insurance, we provide our services without insurance for self-pay patients, giving you the care when you need it most.
