Agoura Hills Urgent Care vs ER
ER Alternative
Emergency Room Alternative in Agoura Hills, CA
Emergency rooms in the United States are continuing to become more and more overcrowded. Over the last two decades, more than 1/4 of the country’s emergency rooms have closed, whereas the number of ER visits has increased by over 30%. Studies show that during this time over 1/3 of patients visiting the ER are not in need of emergent care, meaning they could be seen elsewhere if the option was available. Lucky for patients, there is!
AFC Urgent Care Agoura Hills is a high-quality and affordable alternative to the emergency room. Our board-certified physicians are able to diagnose and treat patients in significantly less time than the ER. Patients are typically out the door in under 60 minutes!
Our urgent care center is able to treat:
- Fever, cold or flu-like symptoms
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Severe sore throat
- Cuts or minor lacerations (including stitches)

What's the difference between AFC Urgent Care and emergency room services?
Urgent care is for medical conditions that require prompt attention but do not pose an immediate threat to your health or life. Here is a simple rule of thumb: if your medical issues(s) are life threatening, call 911, or go directly to a hospital emergency room. If not, an urgent care center such as AFC is an excellent alternative.
