NYC Urgent Care

Affordable and Convenient Urgent Care in Brooklyn

A good Brooklyn urgent care facility will allow you to access quality medical care without breaking the bank.

Even if you don’t have insurance, AG Care offers payment plans that allow patients without insurance to access medical treatment without fear of severe debt, or worse, not getting treatment.

In general, AG Care Brooklyn urgent care centers offer some of the same services as other urgent care facilities, but at lower prices. Our urgent care centers also specialize in specific areas, including breaks and sprains, foot fractures, work injuries, school injuries, and more.

This makes our medical facilities ideal for those with specialized needs, including elder care, urgent care for kids, and workers’ compensation injuries. Naturally, our urgent care facilities are convenient.

We provide medical care that is usually available only in an emergency room. This can be especially helpful if you have a minor illness or injury that is not an emergency matter but still needs immediate attention (we talk about below when you should go to urgent care vs. emergency care).

For example, if you have a sprained ankle and need it to heal before you can walk on it again, an AG urgent care facility can treat the injury and prescribe basic pain and healing medications.

What is an Urgent Care Facility?

An urgent care facility provides medical care for minor illnesses, injuries, and other ailments. In some communities, urgent care is called “urgent care centers” or “walk-in clinics,” but these terms are often used interchangeably.

Most urgent care centers offer walk-in service, meaning that you do not need an appointment to visit one. However, in some cases, you may want to make an appointment before visiting an urgent care facility, depending on your illness and your desired level of care.

AG Care urgent care centers accept walk-in patients, but you can also check in online to fill out forms, etc. beforehand which can make your visit go more quickly. If you are able to take advantage of our walk-in service, you can arrive at our Brooklyn urgent care centers at any time and be seen right away.

Why Visit an Urgent Care Facility?

The short answer to this question is that it depends on your illness and your desired level of care.

Urgent care centers are generally more convenient and much cheaper than emergency rooms. However, they are not guaranteed to be more helpful or less disorganized than emergency rooms.

The best way to determine if you should visit an urgent care facility instead of an emergency room depends on your illness, your desired level of care, and how sick you are.

Some general categories of illnesses that may require urgent care treatment include the following: Minor injuries and ailments such as sprained ankles, stomachaches, broken bones, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, diabetes, asthma, animal bites, auto accidents, slip and fall injuries and other non-life-threatening medical issues.

Urgent Care Vs. Emergency Room

In general, urgent care centers are less expensive and should be used instead of emergency rooms for minor injuries, ailments such as the common stomachache, and less serious conditions such as diarrhea and asthma.

However, if your condition requires immediate treatment in an emergency room, visit one instead of trying to save money at an urgent care center. You may save money by using an urgent care facility if you do not require immediate treatment in an emergency room or if your condition is not urgent enough to warrant an urgent care visit. In these cases, you may be able to save money by using an urgent care facility.

Many people prefer to visit an urgent care facility instead of an emergency room, simply because it is more convenient. Additionally, many people prefer to use an urgent care facility because it is cheaper and they do not want to visit an emergency room, even though their condition is not urgent enough to warrant one.

If you fall into this category, you may be able to save money by visiting an urgent care facility instead of an emergency room.
