Quick Care: Your First Stop for Everyday Health Concerns
Life keeps moving, even when you’re not feeling well. With so much going on, you don’t want to spend hours in an Emergency Room for something that isn’t a true emergency. That’s why Chesapeake Regional Quick Care Clinic is here.
This clinic is designed for health issues that need a doctor's attention but don’t require an ER visit. Think of it as a faster option when your regular doctor isn't available.
What Do Doctors at the Quick Care Clinic Treat?
Quick Care is the right call for minor illnesses or injuries. If you or your kids are dealing with any of the following, Quick Care providers can help with:
- Common colds and the flu
- Sprains
- Minor wounds
- Skin rashes
- Earaches
The clinic also offers immunizations and select health screenings, so it's a great option for staying on top of your health.
Why Quick Care Makes Sense for Busy Adults
It’s built around your schedule. Wait times are shorter, and costs are lower than in the ER. Whether you've got a sick kid, or you're a working adult who can't afford to lose a full day, our Quick Care Clinic can get you in and out with the care you need.
Insurance copays for Quick Care visits are typically way lower than ER copays. And if you don't have insurance, pricing is straightforward, so there are no surprise bills when the statement shows up.
When Quick Care Isn't Enough: Urgent Care Is Your Next Option
Sometimes a health issue needs more than a basic exam. If your injury or illness isn't life-threatening but you need imaging or advanced diagnostics, Chesapeake Regional Urgent Care is the right choice.
It's at the corner of Battlefield Boulevard and Hanbury Road in the Great Bridge area of Chesapeake, and offers X-ray, ultrasound and CT scanning on-site. Moderate injury? Possible fracture? Something that needs imaging? Urgent Care can handle it fast — without the ER wait or price tag. Call 757 312-2260 or visit the website to get a spot in line.
The Emergency Room Is for Life-Threatening Situations
Some situations just can't wait. If you or someone you know is facing a life-threatening emergency, go straight to the Emergency Room or call 911. The ER is available around the clock for the most serious conditions.
- Chest pain
- Trouble breathing
- Severe bleeding
- Signs of stroke
- Any condition that could be life-threatening
The ER has the staff and equipment to handle emergencies that Quick Care and Urgent Care aren't set up to treat. When in doubt, call 911 or head straight to the ER.
Plan Ahead for Health Care Needs
The best time to learn about your care options is before you need them. Save our locations in your phone now, so you're ready when a health issue arises. Knowing ahead of time where to go means less stress and faster care when it matters most.
For true emergencies, like chest pain, trouble breathing, severe bleeding or signs of stroke, always go to the ER or call 911. For everything else, Quick Care and Urgent Care are here to help when your regular doctor isn't available.
