History

Established in 2008.

Premier Care Urgent Care centers offer care for life’s mini emergencies. The majority of people are not familiar with exactly what urgent care offers. For patients who are headed to the emergency room with an acute illness of moderate severity, we offer a convenient alternative to the emergency room. Patients can receive quick access to the care of a qualified, Board-​Certified doctor when they would alternatively seek assistance from a hospital emergency room. All physicians from Premier Care are board-​certified in emergency medicine and are the same physicians that patients would be seen by in a hospital emergency room. However, by practicing in an urgent care setting, they are able to offer patients a gentler and more compassionate approach to emergency care.
