Urgent Care

From the moment you arrive, we’re with you every step of the way.

Step 1. Registration

Registering is simple and hassle free. A representative will ask you for information, including your address, phone number, emergency contact, employer and health insurance. If you already have been a patient of Baptist Health South Florida, we will ask you to verify the accuracy of the information in our records. You also will be asked to sign a consent form for your treatment, or for your child.

Step 2. Evaluation

A triage nurse will assess your medical condition by taking your vital signs and medical history, and will evaluate your symptoms to determine a priority level for you. It will not be long before one of our highly skilled doctors will begin a more thorough examination. Your waiting time depends on the severity of your medical condition and other variables, but you can rest assured that our priority is to help you feel better quickly. It is our goal to treat you within two hours. Of course, if your condition worsens while you are waiting, please let a nurse or other staff member know immediately.

Step 3. Treatment

You will be taken to a treatment room where you will see the attending physician. Based on your urgent care needs, your doctor may order lab tests and diagnostic imaging studies. It may take a while to get the test results, so please relax in the treatment room. Naturally, you may want someone to keep you company, so we allow you to have one visitor in the treatment room at any given time. Please ask other family members or friends to remain in the waiting room where they will be more comfortable. If the patient is a child, both parents are welcome.

Step 4. Continuation of care

Before you go home, you will be given discharge instructions that you will need to follow to continue your care. Do not hesitate to ask questions if there is something you do not understand. We will be happy to review it with you. If you are asked to make a follow-up appointment, please do so before leaving. A Quality Assurance nurse may call you after your visit to follow up with your care, so please be sure we have your current phone number. You may call the Quality Assurance Department at 786-596-4504 from 7 a.m. - 3 p.m. daily with any questions.
