What happens during an urgent care visit?
When you arrive at Seby Medical Center for an urgent care visit, compassionate staff members will greet you right away. They will get your temperature, record your weight, and check your pulse and blood pressure.
Afterwards, our attending medical provider will ask about your symptoms and medical history. The type of care you will receive during this period will depend on your illness or injury. For example, if you have a laceration, our urgent care specialist will first clean the wound and, if necessary, stitch it. If they think you may have a fracture, they will recommend an X-ray examination.

Our specialist may also recommend blood tests, an electrocardiogram (EKG), or other diagnostic procedures to further evaluate the condition.
