Yes! In fact, urgent care clinics were designed with minor illnesses like pink eye in mind, in that they provide an immediate source of medical attention for non-life-threatening medical conditions. Whereas an emergency room prioritizes patients based on the severity of their condition, urgent care clinics operate on a first-come, first-served basis, which enables them to see patients much more swiftly than emergency rooms and significantly reduces the amount of time that patients with medical conditions that are not life-threatening spend in the waiting room. Moreover, while you would likely need to wait a day or two for the next available appointment at your primary care clinic, urgent care clinics accept same-day appointments on the spot! As such, the medical experts at urgent care clinics, like ours at Physicians Now Urgent Care, can provide superior pink eye treatment.
