What Illnesses Do We Treat?

At Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care, we treat a wide array of non-life-threatening illnesses, including:

While Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care offers treatment for common illnesses, we don’t treat life-threatening conditions. So, if you’re experiencing any signs of a medical emergency—for example, chest pain or difficulty breathing—you should call 911 or get to the nearest hospital as soon as possible.

PCP, ER, or Urgent Care: Where to Go for Everyday Illness Treatment

When you’re experiencing one of the non-life-threatening illnesses described above, you have numerous options available to you for where to seek treatment. Your first thought may be to visit your primary care provider. But in many cases, PCPs are booked days, weeks, or even months in advance, which doesn’t help when you need prompt care.

If you’re not experiencing life-threatening symptoms, an emergency room probably won’t be your best bet, either. ERs prioritize treating life-threatening conditions like heart attacks and strokes, which means that patients seeking treatment for a more common illness usually end up having to wait for quite a while. Plus, ER bills tend to be very expensive.

So, where else can you receive everyday illness treatment? For many people, urgent care is a great alternative to PCPs and ERs. Urgent care centers are typically more accessible than primary care offices, and when compared to ERs, they generally offer shorter wait times and lower costs.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the attention you gave me last week.

My son was started on antibiotics and ear drops. Within 24 hours he began to feel better. The poor kid had been going to school in tears because he was afraid of missing any more days, but feeling (and looking) just awful! He's not been able to even think about lacrosse practice, but thanks to starting him on antibiotics, he was thrilled to return to practice today.
