At Southern Immediate Care, we pride ourselves on offering a wide array of urgent care services to address various medical needs. Our team of board-certified physicians, nurse practitioners, and medical staff are trained to diagnose and treat a broad spectrum of non-emergency medical conditions.
Illness Treatment
We understand that sudden illnesses can be both uncomfortable and concerning. Our skilled medical professionals are equipped to diagnose and treat a variety of common illnesses, including but not limited to
Gastrointestinal Issues
Gastrointestinal issues like food poisoning, stomach viruses, and severe cases of nausea or diarrhea can be particularly distressing. We offer prompt evaluation and treatment to alleviate your symptoms and prevent dehydration.
Respiratory infections
Respiratory infections such as colds, flu, bronchitis, and pneumonia are among the most frequent reasons patients visit our urgent care center. Our team can quickly assess your symptoms, perform necessary tests, and provide appropriate treatment to help you feel better as soon as possible.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can cause significant discomfort and, if left untreated, can lead to more serious complications. Our urgent care center provides rapid testing and treatment for UTIs, helping you find relief quickly.
Skin Conditions
Skin conditions such as rashes, allergic reactions, and infections are also commonly treated at our facility. Whether you're dealing with poison ivy, an unexplained rash, or a potential skin infection, our team can provide expert diagnosis and treatment.
Occupational Health Services
Southern Immediate Care is proud to partner with local businesses to provide comprehensive occupational health services. We understand the importance of maintaining a healthy workforce and can assist with various work-related medical needs.
Pre-employment physicals
Pre-employment physicals are conducted at our facility to ensure potential employees are fit for their intended roles. These examinations can be tailored to meet the specific requirements of different industries and job positions.
Drug screenings
Drug screenings are available for pre-employment, random, or post-incident testing. Our facility follows strict chain-of-custody protocols to ensure accurate and legally defensible results.
Workers' compensation
Workers' compensation injury care is another crucial service we provide. If an employee suffers a work-related injury, we can provide prompt treatment, documentation, and follow-up care to facilitate a safe and timely return to work.
Our locations are open 7 days a week with extended hours (except major holidays)
providing immediate care for those after-hours and weekend injuries.
Injury Care
Accidents happen, and when they do, Southern Immediate Care is here to help. Our facility is equipped to handle a wide range of non-life-threatening injuries, providing prompt and effective care to get you on the road to recovery.
Sprains and strains
Sprains and strains are common injuries that can occur during sports activities, falls, or even everyday movements. Our team can assess the severity of your injury, provide appropriate treatment, and offer guidance on home care and recovery.
Minor fractures
Minor fractures and breaks can be painful and concerning. While severe fractures may require emergency room care, our urgent care center can handle many types of minor fractures. We have on-site X-ray capabilities to diagnose fractures quickly and can provide splinting or casting as needed.
Cuts and lacerations
Cuts and lacerations that require stitches can be treated at our facility. Our medical professionals are skilled in wound care and can clean, assess, and suture wounds as necessary to promote proper healing and minimize scarring.
Burns
Ranging from minor to moderate, can be effectively treated at our urgent care center. We can provide immediate care to relieve pain, prevent infection, and promote healing for thermal, chemical, or electrical burns.
Diagnostic Services
Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. That's why Southern Immediate Care offers a range of on-site diagnostic services to provide quick and accurate results.
Our in-house laboratory allows us to perform a variety of tests, including complete blood counts (CBC), basic metabolic panels, urinalysis, and tests for strep throat, flu, and COVID-19. These rapid tests enable our medical team to make informed decisions about your care without the need for time-consuming referrals to outside labs.
X-ray services are available on-site, allowing us to quickly diagnose fractures, lung conditions, and other internal issues. Our digital X-ray technology provides high-quality images with minimal radiation exposure, ensuring both accuracy and safety.
Electrocardiograms (EKGs) are available for patients experiencing chest pain or other cardiac symptoms. While severe heart issues should be treated in an emergency room, our ability to perform EKGs allows us to quickly assess and triage patients with potential cardiac concerns.
Sports Physicals
Specialized Assessments for Different Sports
At Southern Immediate Care, we recognize that different sports place unique demands on an athlete's body. That's why our sports physicals are tailored to the specific requirements of your chosen sport or activity. Whether you're a long-distance runner, a football player, a gymnast, or participate in any other sport, our healthcare providers have the expertise to assess your fitness in relation to your athletic pursuits.
For example, if you're involved in contact sports like football or hockey, we'll pay extra attention to your musculoskeletal system and discuss concussion awareness. For endurance athletes, we might focus more on cardiovascular health and discuss proper nutrition and hydration strategies. Gymnasts and dancers might receive additional assessments of flexibility and balance.
Our goal is to provide a comprehensive evaluation that not only clears you for participation but also equips you with valuable insights to enhance your performance and reduce your risk of injury in your specific sport.

When to Choose Urgent Care vs. Emergency Room
Understanding when to visit an urgent care center versus an emergency room is crucial for receiving appropriate care and managing healthcare costs. While Southern Immediate Care is equipped to handle a wide range of medical issues, there are situations where an emergency room visit is necessary.
Urgent care is ideal for non-life-threatening conditions that require prompt attention. This includes minor fractures, sprains, cuts requiring stitches, mild to moderate asthma attacks, fever without rash, eye irritation and redness, vomiting, diarrhea, and most cases of abdominal pain.
However, certain symptoms and conditions warrant immediate emergency care. These include chest pain or difficulty breathing, severe abdominal pain, major injuries, uncontrolled bleeding, severe burns, suspected stroke symptoms, loss of consciousness, and severe allergic reactions.
If you're unsure whether your condition requires urgent care or emergency services, it's always best to err on the side of caution and seek emergency care. Our staff at Southern Immediate Care can also provide guidance if you call ahead with questions about your symptoms.
