What is the difference between Urgent Care and Emergency Care?

Emergency care refers to those things, which could be beyond the scope of any urgent care center, as they could prove to be life threatening and thus require the full resources of a hospital.

Does Urgent Care replace my primary care physician?

No, at NSB and Ormond Urgent Care, our goal is not to replace your primary care physician but to be available, when their office may be closed or when it is impractical to be seen by them promptly.

When should I use an urgent care center rather than my regular doctor?

Use your regular doctor when you can. We are here to assist in your care if you cannot schedule a convenient appointment. You will find the urgent care can handle your problem promptly.

Why not use the Emergency Room?

If you have a true life-threatening emergency, you must go to an emergency room. However, most patients do not need the expense and delay of the emergency room for urgent illnesses/injuries. Save time and money by visiting one of our Urgent Care offices.

Do we work with other doctors?

Do you refer patients to specialists?

Yes. We handle immediately urgent problems such as sprains, fractures, lacerations, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, etc. and refer patients to the appropriate specialist the next day or immediately if the illness warrants.

Is x-ray available?
