Can’t Get an Appointment with Your Primary Care Provider?
Life doesn’t always wait for the next available doctor’s appointment.
If your primary care provider can’t see you today, Pelican Urgent Care is here to help with fast, convenient care for illnesses and injuries that shouldn’t wait.

Pelican Urgent Care is a great option when:

  • You can’t get a same-day appointment with your primary care provider.
  • Your doctor’s office is closed.
  • You need treatment for a minor illness or injury today.
  • You need on-site X-rays or rapid testing.
  • You want same-day care without the emergency room wait.

We work alongside your primary care provider, not in place of them. After your visit, we can send a summary of your treatment to your provider to help maintain continuity of care and make your transition back to your regular physician as seamless as possible.
When your doctor can’t see you today, Pelican Urgent Care is here to bridge the gap.

Urgent Care vs. Emergency Room

Choosing the right place for care can save you time and money. Pelican Urgent Care treats non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries, while emergency rooms are designed to care for serious or life-threatening medical emergencies.

How to tell if you need to go to the ER or to an Urgent Care Clinic?

Emergency Room

Emergency rooms are designed to treat patients with critical conditions and life-threatening injuries. They are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you should visit an emergency room as soon as possible:
