Common Urgent Care Conditions We Treat in Savannah
Savannah's coastal location and outdoor lifestyle—from beach days at Tybee Island to kayaking the marshes and exploring Forsyth Park—mean residents face unique urgent care needs:
Many of these conditions can be evaluated and treated virtually. However, some situations require in-person care—like deep cuts that might need stitches, severe jellyfish reactions with breathing problems, signs of severe heat stroke or dehydration requiring IV fluids, chest pain or difficulty breathing, or severe allergic reactions.
If you're unsure, start a virtual visit, and the clinician will let you know if you need to be seen in person or go to the ER.

Frequently Asked Questions About Urgent Care in Savannah
What symptoms should you go to urgent care for?
Urgent care is appropriate for conditions that need attention soon but aren't life-threatening. Common reasons include cold and flu symptoms, minor infections like UTIs and sinus infections, mild to moderate pain, minor cuts or burns, sprains and strains, skin rashes, mild asthma symptoms, and minor allergic reactions. If you're unsure whether your symptoms need urgent care or can wait for a regular appointment, virtual urgent care lets you check in with a clinician quickly without the trip.
What shouldn't you go to urgent care for?
Urgent care—whether virtual or in-person—isn't appropriate for emergencies like chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, sudden severe headaches, signs of stroke, loss of consciousness, or severe injuries. These situations require emergency care at the ER. Urgent care also isn't the right place for complex chronic disease management that needs specialist expertise or diagnostic procedures that can't be done virtually or at urgent care clinics.
Is it cheaper to go to urgent care or a primary care physician?
Virtual urgent care is usually cheaper than both traditional urgent care clinics and may be similar in cost to primary care visits—but it's much faster to access. In-person urgent care clinics typically cost more than primary care visits due to facility fees. With insurance, your copay for virtual urgent care is often similar to or lower than an office visit. Without insurance, virtual urgent care has transparent cash pricing that's generally lower than walking into a clinic. The biggest advantage is getting care when you need it—primary care appointments can take days or weeks to schedule, while virtual urgent care is available same-day or next-day.
Can you get antibiotics from virtual urgent care?
Yes. If a clinician evaluates your symptoms and determines that a bacterial infection is the likely cause—such as strep throat, a UTI, or a sinus infection—they can prescribe antibiotics during your virtual visit. The prescription is sent directly to your preferred pharmacy for pickup. However, not all infections require antibiotics (many are viral and resolve on their own), so the clinician will only prescribe them when medically appropriate.
