Sprain an ankle or have an unbeatable cough and aren’t sure where to go?

The Lowcountry has a variety of hospitals and urgent cares to help get you back to brand new. Depending on your level of illness, you oftentimes have the option to choose between visiting an urgent care facility or an emergency room.

When should I visit an urgent care?

Urgent care and walk-in clinics are for non-emergency illnesses or injuries that require immediate medical attention but are not considered emergencies. For example, nose bleeds, ear infections, minor sprains, rashes and flu-like symptoms are forms of health issues that an urgent care can effectively assist you with.

Most urgent care centers and clinics are only open during weekdays and can refer you to an ER if your medical situation is more severe.

When should I go to the ER?

Emergency rooms are open 24/7 and provide the staffing and care for critical health needs. Examples include heavy bleeding, chest pains, large wounds or traumatic injuries.

Here is a rundown of some of the top emergency rooms and urgent cares to visit the next time you’re feeling under the weather, according to top reviews on Yelp and Google Reviews.
