24 Hour Urgent Care in Chesapeake, VA

At Family Medicine Healthcare, we understand that when you or your loved ones are feeling unwell, timely care is important. While 24-hour urgent care centers can have wait times that vary based on the time of day, patient volume, and the severity of cases, our practice is committed to providing prompt attention to your healthcare needs. Many urgent care centers strive to see patients within 15 to 45 minutes, but wait times can be longer during busy periods or when more critical cases arise.

We offer same-day appointments and walk-in availability for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries—helping you avoid the long waits often found in emergency rooms. Our team’s focus on family medicine means you receive comprehensive, personalized care from providers who know your medical history. For added convenience, we also offer online appointment scheduling and check-in options to further reduce your wait time.

If you need quick, reliable care for minor illnesses or injuries, Family Medicine Healthcare is here to help. We provide a friendly, efficient alternative to traditional urgent care and emergency rooms—so you can get back to feeling your best as soon as possible.

At Family Medicine Healthcare, we believe that knowing where to seek care in urgent situations is an essential part of managing your health and the health of your family. Many patients wonder whether a 24-hour urgent care facility is equipped to handle emergencies or if a hospital emergency room is the better choice. Here’s what you should know:

24-hour urgent care centers, like those we may refer you to after hours, are designed to provide immediate medical attention for non-life-threatening conditions. These facilities can treat a variety of issues such as:

● Minor fractures and sprains
● Cuts that may require stitches
● Mild to moderate asthma attacks
● Infections (such as ear, sinus, or urinary tract infections)
● Fevers and dehydration
● Mild allergic reactions and similar urgent problems

Most urgent care centers are equipped with diagnostic tools like X-rays and basic laboratory services. They are staffed by experienced healthcare professionals who can manage acute but not critical health concerns.
