Urgent Care or ER? How to Decide

The ER should be your first choice if an injury or illness appears to be severe. And if your condition isn't an emergency, but you can't wait until the next day, that's when you should visit an urgent care center. Here’s a guide to help you determine whether to go to an urgent care center such as Temple ReadyCare, or the nearest ER when you need immediate medical attention.

Save Time, Reserve Online

Use our online tool to check wait times and reserve your spot at one of our urgent care locations. Planning your arrival helps us streamline your visit so you can focus on getting the care you need—without the wait.

We must prioritize patients based on the severity of their illness/condition and their arrival time at our urgent care facilities. All wait times are approximate at the time of scheduling. Please note that this is not an appointment time or guaranteed time slot.
