What's the difference between urgent care and a medical emergency?

Urgent care services at Southern New Hampshire Internal Medicine offer expert evaluation and treatment for illnesses and injuries requiring prompt attention. Medical emergencies are potentially life-threatening situations where you need to go to the hospital emergency room.

You should seek emergency medical attention for conditions such as:

• Difficulty breathing
• Sudden loss of physical or mental function
• Compound fractures (where the bone is visible)
• Loss of consciousness
• Seizures
• Bleeding knife wounds
• Gunshot wounds
• Moderate-to-severe burns
• Serious head and neck injuries
• Severe pain in your chest or abdomen
• Suicidal impulses

Southern New Hampshire Internal Medicine's offices are the best place to go for problems that require prompt attention but aren't life-threatening.

Why should I use Southern New Hampshire Internal Medicine for an Urgent Care visit?

Many primary care providers don't offer urgent care services, which means you have to visit an unfamiliar location or use costly hospital services. At Southern New Hampshire Internal Medicine, you benefit from having comprehensive primary care providers and urgent care facilities at one site.
