Urgent care vs. emergency room


It's important to understand the distinction between urgent care and emergency room services:

Urgent care is ideal for non-life-threatening conditions. Our urgent care centers provide timely care without the long waits typically associated with emergency rooms.

Emergency rooms are reserved for severe or life-threatening emergencies, including chest pain, severe injuries, difficulty breathing and major trauma.

  • Aetna

Unfortunately, we do not accept CalOptima Direct / Community Network insurance at this time but can provide a self-pay option for patients.


*Urgent care is appropriate for illness or injuries that require prompt attention but are not medical emergencies.
If you or someone you care for is having a medical or mental health emergency, call 9-1-1 or go to the nearest hospital.
