Urgent Care Kansas City - The Urgency Room - Kansas City's Premier Urgent Care Center

June 10, 2009 - PRLog -- The Urgency Room of Kansas City is the premier Urgent Care Facility in Kansas City.  The Urgency Room prides itself on quality care on par with your local physician.  The staff is friendly and dedicated to making your experience as pleasant as possible.

Urgent Care is a much needed service that provides care to patients that normally might go to crowded and expensive emergency rooms.  Emergency rooms are designed to treat the very ill and will not get to the patients that have coughs, sore throats, ear aches, simple lacerations and toothaches until the sicker patients have been treated.  Moreover, since the facility is designed to treat the very ill or large trauma cases, the cost for patients with mild injuries or mild illnesses is great.  Moreover, on weekends or after hours it is difficult to see your physician.  Additionally, most physician offices cannot handle lacerations and other mild to moderate trauma.  This is where the Urgent Care Centers like the Urgency Room shine.  They have the equipment and the training to handle most mild to moderate trauma and the mild to moderate sick patient.  The other scenario that suits Urgent Care Centers are patients that are out of town or new to a city and haven't established a doctor-patient relationship yet.  For more information see http://www.squidoo.com/urgentcarekansascity .

Your experience begins with streamlined appointment making.  You can call can receive and appointment or schedule an appointment online via Urgency's Care's Zip Pass.  Because of the Urgency Room's modular scheduling, waiting time as minimized and are usually far less than 30 minutes.  Of course walk-ins are certainly welcomed.  

The Urgency Room accepts most insurance plans and costs far less than an emergency room visit.  Patients can also get their prescriptions on site and that allows for a very efficient and streamlined visit.  The Urgency Room staff is dedicated to seeing that your claim gets covered.

The physicians at the Urgency Room are the best.  They are emergency room physicians that have worked or currently work in an emergency room setting.  The physicians are board certified and you can be assured they are qualified to handle your illness.  Some urgent care centers staff their facilities with doctors that are not emergency room physicians.  Often times simple symptoms can be indicative of more serious issues.  Trust the urgency room to detect these findings and alert you to a more serious condition and get you to the proper treatment center.
