If you experience severe pain that comes out of nowhere, if you feel a condition is life-threatening, or if you or a loved one suddenly experiences a drastic change of health — play it safe. Call 911 immediately to head to the closest emergency room if you're experiencing:

• Complicated fractures
• Deep wounds
• Extreme difficulty breathing
• Major head injury
• Poisoning
• Severe allergic reactions
• Severe burns
• Suspected heart attack
• Suspected stroke
• Vomiting or coughing up blood

Our expert emergency room team is here to help you when you need it most, so you can start feeling whole again.

What to Expect When You Visit Our ER

We know you have lots of questions about what’s happening. Count on us to answer each one patiently and thoughtfully. We’ll have a few questions, too, because the more information we have, the more quickly we can help you heal. To start off, our expert ER staff will ask for basic things like your name, birthdate, medical history and the reason for your visit. We’ll also take your vital signs. Then we’ll decide how to best move forward.

In our 24-hour emergency room, we use a system known as triage to help us determine the order in which patients receive care. This means a patient suffering from a suspected stroke may receive care sooner than someone not in a critical condition. Sometimes, this can mean earlier treatment for a later-arriving patient, but you can rest easy knowing we’ll do our best to treat everyone in a timely manner, and that we’re fully committed to giving you the best emergency medical treatments available.

To help minimize your stress and prepare for every possibility, you may want to consider keeping certain information on you at all times. Carrying an information card in your wallet or purse is a great way to be prepared for a sudden trip to the emergency room. Including the name and number of your primary care physician, a list of your medications and drug allergies and any advance directives (like powers of attorney or health care proxy) can be helpful.

When you need care for a serious but non-critical illness or injury, you can visit one of our Tampa urgent care centers. Our highly experienced teams are ready to help you find relief from a range of minor ailments, including:

• Allergic reactions and hives
• Cold, flu and common illnesses
• Cuts that need stitches
• Disease management
• Minor cuts (onsite stitches available)
• Rashes
• Sprains, strains and fractures
• Stomach and digestive conditions

You deserve convenient, affordable care, which is why we accept most major insurance plans and don’t ask you to schedule an appointment. And since we’re committed to your health now and in the future, our urgent care offers preventive services, including flu shots, X-rays, EKGs and annual physical exams.

For minor ailments, our video visits are a convenient service that lets you speak with a physician or nurse practitioner from the comfort of your own home. All you need is an internet connection via your smartphone, tablet or desktop. We offer virtual appointments for a number of minor conditions, including:

• Conjunctivitis (pink eye)
• Cough, colds, bronchitis and flu
• Lower-back pain
• Seasonal allergies
• Sinus and upper-respiratory infections
• Skin conditions
• Urinary tract infections
