When you need urgent medical care
If you’re in a serious medical emergency — for example, if you or a loved one has symptoms including chest pains, difficulty breathing, or a change in consciousness — you should call 911 or get to an emergency room right away.
If your condition is urgent but not an immediately life-threatening emergency, urgent care services at Monrovia Internal Medicine & Primary Care may be able to save you time and money.
A serious medical situation won’t get better on its own. You need prompt, professional medical support to preserve your whole-body health and long-term wellness. Without timely treatment, your condition could get worse, or you might end up dealing with long-term or serious complications.
