Frequently Asked Questions
When should I visit an urgent care center instead of a family clinic?
Visit an urgent care center if you need prompt attention for a sudden illness or minor injury that is not life-threatening, especially after clinic hours. Some examples of conditions that are often treated here include minor cuts, sprains, or respiratory infections.
Are family clinics only for children or the entire family?
Family clinics see patients of any age, from infants to older adults. They are designed to meet the health care needs of the entire family, offering preventive care, chronic disease management, and wellness care to everyone.
Do urgent care centers take appointments?
Some Katy urgent care facilities prefer or mandate appointments, which can limit walk-in availability. It is best to call ahead and confirm their current policies before visiting, as this will affect how promptly you are seen.
What type of care can I receive at a Pristine family care clinic?
You can expect comprehensive and ongoing care with us, including regular checkups, vaccinations, management of chronic diseases, and personalized health advice. At Pristine OBGYN, Pediatrics and Family Care clinic, we create patient relationships in the long term to help their overall well-being.
Can urgent care centers treat chronic health conditions?
Urgent care centers are designed for acute health problems and are not designed for long-term care for chronic conditions. For health needs that are chronic, a family clinic is usually a better choice.
What do I do if I have a medical emergency?
For life-threatening emergencies, never go to a family clinic or urgent care. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room right away for the fastest and most appropriate care.
