Urgent Care vs. Emergency Room Care

"

Emergency Room Alternative in Stamford, CT

Studies have shown that nearly 2/3 of all emergency room visits have been non-life threatening illnesses and injuries that could be handled at an urgent care clinic such as AFC Urgent Care Stamford. Those with non-life threatening ailments also find themselves with a long wait to see a doctor. AFC Urgent Care Stamford has little to no wait time and we always accept all walk-ins.

ER visits can also be very expensive with co-pays reaching over $100 and those without insurance can pay even more than that. AFC Urgent Care prices are kept low and for those with insurance, it often costs the price of a PCP copay.

At AFC Urgent Care Urgent Care Stamford we treat:

  • fever, colds, flu
  • sprains strains and broken bones
  • allergies and asthma
  • ear infections
  • sinus infections
  • nausea and gastrointestinal illness
  • rashes
  • sore throats and bronchitis
  • cuts and scrapes (we administer stitches)
  • urinary infections
  • symptoms of diabetes
  • minor head injuries and concussions
  • bee stings
  • heat stroke and sunburn
