Same-Day Urgent Care for Illnesses, Injuries, and Everyday Medical Needs
When an illness, injury, or sudden symptoms need attention now, ClearChoiceMD Urgent Care provides fast, convenient treatment for non-life-threatening medical needs across all ages. Our centers offer same-day urgent care, walk-in access, on-site diagnostics, and experienced providers who can evaluate your condition and help you take the next step toward feeling better.
When Urgent Care Makes Sense for Fast, Non-Emergency Care
Urgent care is designed for illnesses and injuries that need prompt attention but are not life-threatening emergencies. Our center provides urgent care for illnesses and injuries on a walk-in basis, making it easier to receive care when waiting for a primary care appointment is not practical.
For many patients, urgent care is the right choice for non-emergency medical care such as sudden sickness, minor injuries, pain, rashes, allergic symptoms, and other concerns that should be checked sooner rather than later.
Services Available During One Urgent Care Visit
We offer a broad range of urgent care services to help patients get evaluation, diagnostics, and treatment in one place. Common services we provide include:
- Illness and injury evaluation for adults and children
- Physicals, health screenings, and employee health services
- DOT physicals
- On-site urgent care testing
- X-rays and imaging for suspected fractures and other concerns
With urgent care testing and x-rays available at many visits, our patients can often receive answers and next-step guidance without making multiple appointments.
Care for Sprains, Burns, Cuts, Fractures, and Other Minor Injuries
We provide urgent care for minor injuries that are painful, disruptive, or need same-day attention but do not require the emergency room.
We commonly treat:
- Sprains, strains, and joint injuries
- Sports-related pain, swelling, and bruising
- Minor burns, cuts, scrapes, and wounds
- Simple fractures and possible broken bones
- Minor concussions and head injury concerns
- Sudden back, neck, or muscle pain
Patients can also visit us for urgent care for sports injuries, including injuries from school athletics, recreational activities, fitness routines, and weekend sports.
Pediatric Urgent Care for Infants, Kids, and Teens
Families can turn to us for pediatric urgent care when infants, children, or teens need prompt evaluation for non-life-threatening illnesses or injuries. Our providers treat infants, as well as children and teens with common concerns such as fevers, sore throats, ear pain, stomach symptoms, rashes, minor injuries, school physical needs, and sports-related concerns.
Treatment for Everyday Illnesses That Need Prompt Attention
Many everyday illnesses can become frustrating quickly, especially when symptoms interfere with work, school, sleep, or normal routines. That’s why we offer walk-in urgent care services for a wide range of common illnesses and symptoms.
Patients often visit us for:
- Coughs, colds, flu-like symptoms, sore throats, and fevers
- Sinus pressure, ear pain, and respiratory symptoms

Urgent Care vs. the ER for Non-Life-Threatening Medical Needs
Understanding urgent care vs. emergency room care can help patients choose the right setting quickly.
Choose Urgent Care For:
- Colds, flu symptoms, sore throats, and fevers
- Sprains, strains, and minor fractures
- Minor burns, cuts, and wounds
- Rashes, mild allergic reactions, and skin irritation
- UTI symptoms, stomach issues, and everyday illnesses
Go to the ER or Call 911 For:
- Chest pain, stroke symptoms, or trouble breathing
- Severe bleeding or major trauma
- Severe head, neck, or spine injuries

- Serious burns or open fractures
For non-life-threatening conditions, we provide a faster, more accessible, and more affordable alternative to the emergency room.
How Urgent Care Works Alongside Your Primary Care Doctor
ClearChoiceMD is a helpful option when you need to be seen sooner than your primary care doctor can see you. However, urgent care is not a replacement for your ongoing relationship with your regular provider. Urgent care is best for episodic illnesses and injuries. Primary care is best for preventive care, chronic condition management, routine screenings, and long-term health needs.
What About Follow-Up Care?
Additionally, and with your permission, we will send an electronic summary of your urgent care visit to your regular healthcare provider. We feel it is important to keep your primary care provider informed of any care you receive. We can also arrange for you to be seen by a specialist if needed.
Insurance, Prompt-Pay Options, and Accessible Care
We accept most major insurance plans, but coverage is not required to receive high-quality urgent medical care. For those without insurance, we offer a competitive Prompt-Pay Program at all locations throughout Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
Why Patients Choose ClearChoiceMD for Walk-In Care
Patients choose us for:
- Speed and convenience: Most patients are registered, treated, and discharged in less than an hour.
- Quality care: Board-certified providers treat patients of all ages with a wide range of symptoms.
