Urgent Care at Our Watertown Location

Let’s take a closer look at our urgent care services here in Watertown.

What Is Urgent Care?

Urgent care is an entirely new branch of health care that deviates from the more traditional options of physician’s offices and emergency rooms or hospitals. As time progresses, these standard options are continuing to reveal their weaknesses — they are inconvenient and too expensive for many Americans.

This is where urgent care comes in. It is designed to solve many of the problems that traditional health care poses to those in underserved communities. It is gaining widespread popularity for its accessibility and reliability, among other pros.

Benefits of Fast Pace Health Urgent Care

These are just some of the reasons why our patients love our walk-in clinics.

Accessible

We are easy to get to, whether you’re traveling by private or public transportation. We also do not require any scheduling to receive care — just come in and we’ll give you the help you need.

Flexible Hours

We keep our clinic open as late as possible and for as many days during the week as possible. With us, the stress of finding the right time to make an appointment is taken out of the equation.

Fast

Seeing a physician can be a lengthy experience — you just never know how long you will end up waiting to get attention. We provide timely services so you can get the care you need without losing several hours during a busy day.

Affordable

It’s very important that we keep our services accessible to all who make up the Watertown community. This means providing cost-effective options and working with our patients to come up with feasible payment plans, regardless of economic/insurance status.

Quality Care

With all of the amazing benefits and services our urgent care centers offer, some may suspect that the quality of those services is lacking. But rest assured, we only employ providers that are of the absolute highest caliber. In addition to being experts in their respective specialties, they are dedicated to having a positive influence on the community and treating patients with the utmost compassion.

When To Go to an Emergency Room

Although we field and treat many non-life-threatening conditions and illnesses, it isn’t always the right choice to come see us at one of our clinics. If you or a loved one are experiencing a life-threatening event, you must dial emergency services or get to your nearest hospital as soon as possible. They will be better able to help with these types of conditions.

Some common examples of medical emergencies are:

• Loss of consciousness
• Seizures or convulsions
• Deep wounds with uncontrollable bleeding
• Issues during pregnancy
• Severe burns
• Life-threatening injuries
• Poisoning
• Severe abdominal pain or chest pain
• Difficulty breathing
• Heart attack or stroke symptoms
• Suicidal or homicidal thoughts

Telehealth at Our Watertown Location

Below is more information about our telehealth services in Watertown.

What Is Telehealth?

Telehealth is not exactly a field of medicine like say, orthopedics. Rather, it’s a new way in which medicine can be practiced. Due to advancements in mobile technology, patients can now easily interface with their medical records or information and talk directly to a healthcareprovider via video chat. All you need is a smartphone, tablet, or computer, and you can receive care remotely.

What Conditions Does Telehealth Treat?

Many health conditions can be treated successfully without an in-person visit and physical exam — this is where telehealth truly comes in handy. For things like flu and cold, viruses, infections, rashes, seasonal allergies or allergic reactions, and more, a medical professional can provide advice and prescribe medication virtually.

Many also use telehealth when regular checkups are necessary for monitoring a chronic condition or tracking the progression of a condition.

Benefits of Telehealth at Fast Pace Health

Our telehealth technologies are simple and convenient. They are there to maximize the accessibility to our providers and our services. If you are someone who experiences limited mobility or if you have limited time and transportation options, telehealth is the way to go.

Behavioral health is related to mental health, but it is a broader field that encompasses more research.

Actions, thought patterns, routines, and environments all influence our overall wellness heavily.

What Conditions Does Our Behavioral Health Team Treat?

The psychiatric nurse practitioners at our clinic can help with things like depression, anxiety, and ADHD. But we also have licensed counselors that provide therapy for relationship problems, eating disorders, grief, addiction or substance abuse, learning disabilities, and much more.
