What’s the Difference Between Podiatry Urgent Care and the Emergency Room?
Choose Podiatric Foot & Ankle Urgent Care
Choose Podiatric Urgent Care for non-life-threatening foot and ankle injuries or infections. Our urgent care service is designed specifically for foot and ankle issues—so you can skip the general urgent care clinic and be seen directly by a specialist. We provide expert care for injuries and pain while helping you avoid unnecessary costs from non-specialist facilities. Plus, we go beyond immediate relief by creating a long-term treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Go to the ER
Go to the ER if you experience uncontrollable bleeding, suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or trauma with head injury or unconsciousness.
