Why should I visit an urgent care instead of the emergency room?

Emergency rooms are infamous for long wait times and expensive bills, making it a long, dreadful experience when you need treatment for common illnesses or injuries. More than 70% of emergency room visits can be treated at urgent care in significantly less time for a fraction of the cost. The average emergency room bill is $1,300 while the average urgent care visit is $100. At AFC Urgent Care, you don’t have to sacrifice your time or money for high-quality care. Our walk-in clinic is an affordable and reliable healthcare alternative when you need help. Visit us for the care you need so you can enjoy all the fun you can find along Kingston Pike.
