Urgent Care Services We Offer to Albuquerque Residents

Galileo provides virtual urgent care for a wide range of non-emergency conditions that need quick attention:

  • Cold and flu symptoms, including fever, cough, and congestion
  • Sore throats and sinus infections
  • Minor skin conditions like rashes, bug bites, and irritation
  • Urinary symptoms for uncomplicated UTIs
  • Minor sprains and strains from sports or daily activities
  • Mild stomach issues, including nausea and diarrhea
  • Ear pain, pink eye, and minor eye concerns
  • Prescription refills when you're out of medication

Virtual urgent care means you can get help from home—no sitting in a crowded waiting room, no driving across Albuquerque, and no unnecessary ER visit for something that doesn't require emergency care. 

Our clinicians assess your symptoms, provide a diagnosis when appropriate, create a treatment plan, and send prescriptions to your preferred pharmacy when needed. 

Virtual urgent care can help adults and kids with common problems like infections, minor injuries, and medication questions. Many non-emergency concerns can be safely handled through video or phone without an in-person exam. When symptoms are too serious for a virtual visit, our clinicians will guide you to in-person or emergency care.

Virtual Urgent Care

Galileo's virtual urgent care services include:

  • Symptom assessment: Talk through what's happening and when it started
  • Diagnosis for minor conditions: Get clarity on common illnesses and injuries
  • Treatment plans: Receive guidance on managing symptoms and recovery
  • Prescriptions and refills: Have medications sent to your preferred pharmacy when medically appropriate

Follow-up support: Message your care team with questions or updates after your visit

Visits are available 24/7 by video or phone, and you can usually be seen the same day for urgent concerns. Virtual urgent care is designed for non-life-threatening issues that do not require a full emergency room visit—helping you get care when you need it without the ER wait.

How Galileo's Virtual Urgent Care Services Work

Virtual urgent care is different from traditional walk-in urgent care. You get 24/7 access to clinicians without waiting in a crowded room, care from home or work so you don't have to drive across Albuquerque, continuity with a care team that knows your history, and potential cost savings compared with ER visits for non-emergencies.
