Typically, the answer to this question is NO. More often than not, an Urgent Care is much less costly than a traditional hospital emergency room. Sometimes it can be a quarter to a third as expensive as the ER.

An urgent care is not set up to be a replacement for your traditional primary care physician. However, Scioto Urgent Care is an excellent option for your medical needs during those times when you cannot get into your primary care physician in a timely manner, or at a time when the primary care physician’s office is not open, such as after hours, weekends, and holidays. We will work closely with your primary care physician on a treatment plan specifically tailored to your medical needs.

Wait times are very short. Unlike an emergency room, where wait times can be as much as 3-4 hours or more, Scioto Urgent Care will typically see a patient within 20-30 minutes of their check-in. Many times these waits are even shorter.
