Patient & Employer Resources — Guides from the UrgentMed Clinics in Davie & Plantation

Plain-language guides from the UrgentMed team on when urgent care is the right choice, what happens at a visit, and what to bring — for patients in Davie, Plantation and the rest of Broward County, and for the employers, carriers and case managers who send them.

Urgent care or the emergency room?

Urgent care is for problems that need attention today but are not life-threatening: colds, flu and fever; sore throats, ear and sinus infections; UTIs; rashes; cuts that need stitches; sprains and simple fractures; minor burns; asthma flare-ups in someone who is breathing comfortably. Call 911 or go to the ER for chest pain, trouble breathing, stroke signs, heavy bleeding, a head injury with confusion, or a severe allergic reaction. Both UrgentMed clinics have X-ray, lab and EKG on site, so most urgent problems are finished in one stop — see what we treat.

How to use this page

Most people arrive here with one of four questions: is this urgent care or the emergency room, what does this visit involve, which physical do I actually need, or how does my employer or carrier fit in. The guides below are grouped that way rather than by department. Everything links to a page that answers it properly, and every page says plainly what happens at the visit, what it does not cover, and when you should be somewhere else instead. If a guide is missing, the contact page reaches a person at either clinic seven days a week — asking costs nothing and saves a wasted trip. How we handle what you tell us is set out in the privacy policy, and accommodations for a visit are covered in the accessibility statement. If you would rather see everything at once, the sitemap lists every page on the site.

These pages describe care at UrgentMed Davie and UrgentMed Plantation, which serve Davie, Plantation, Cooper City, Weston, Sunrise, Southwest Ranches, Pine Island Ridge, Pembroke Pines and the surrounding Broward County communities. Both are walk-in, seven days a week, with X-ray, laboratory and EKG on site — which is why most of what follows can be settled in a single visit rather than a referral.

Frequently asked questions

When should I go to the ER instead of urgent care?

For chest pain, trouble breathing, stroke signs, heavy bleeding, a head injury with confusion or a severe allergic reaction, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Urgent care handles problems that need attention today but are not life-threatening.

Do you see children?

Yes — illness, injury, school, sports and camp physicals, and vaccines, at both clinics. A parent or guardian signs consent for patients under 18.

Can I get X-rays and lab tests at urgent care?

Yes. Both clinics have digital X-ray, a laboratory and EKG on site, with most results during the visit.

Is the information on this site medical advice?

It is general guidance reviewed by our medical team. It is not a substitute for an evaluation — if you are unsure, walk in or start a telemedicine visit.

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency — chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, stroke symptoms — call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
