The wait was a little long but once I made it to the exam room it didn’t take long to be treated. They were very thorough with the exam and aggressive with the treatment and I am very grateful for that.

As always, the staff was professional and I was seen as quickly as possible. There was only two staff members working at the clinic but they handled the heavy patient load remarkably!!

Your care is our priority

What Is Urgent Care?
Urgent care centers are a type of health care facility which aim to provide a convenient option for those that live in the communities they serve.

When a doctor’s office is not accessible — whether it be closed or over-booked — or a visit to an emergency department in a hospital is not appropriate for an illness or injury, an urgent care center will be your best bet.

They are becoming more popular each year for their reliability and ability to help you and your family with a wide array of health issues.

Urgent Care Conditions Treated:
• Accidents and falls
• Cuts and smaller wounds that may need stitching
• Mild to moderate asthma symptoms
• Eye issues like redness and irritation
• Flu and cold
• Minor broken bones
• Sore throat or cough
• Skin rashes and allergic reactions
• Seasonal allergies
• Sprains and strains
• UTIs and STIs
• Vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration

What Are the Benefits of Fast Pace Health Urgent Care?

Accessible
We’re committed to making our clinics available to everyone in the community — all you need to do to get started is walk into our centrally located location. You can also call us ahead to let us know you’re coming and we’ll save you a spot in line.

Flexible Hours
No need to make changes to your work schedule to receive care, we are open in the evenings during the week and offer hours over the weekend. You can’t choose when a health problem arises, so we’re open seven days a week.

Fast
It’s common for a trip to a physician’s office to take hours. We don’t want you to schedule your day around an appointment, that’s why our staff will do everything they can to treat you as soon as possible.

Affordable
Serving the community means making our clinic available to everyone, regardless of economic status. We work to make our services as cost-effective as we can.

We are here to help the community, that means providing the most cost-effective care possible.

Quality Care
It’s a misconception that urgent care providers aren’t of the same caliber as other facilities. Our staff are professionals in their various fields and also bring compassion and warmth to their duties.

What Is Prevention and Wellness Care?
This refers to the area of medicine concerned with maintaining health and looking into the future to avoid potential health problems. Examples of preventive care include things like chek-ups and screenings.

Benefits of Prevention and Wellness Care at Fast Pace Health
We take wellness seriously — that means treating patients as a whole rather than treating symptoms when they arise. We include lifestyle strategies, nutritional advice, and other forms of coaching so you can achieve long-term success.

What Lab Services Are Offered at Our Location(s)?
Common blood testing we provide includes:

• Complete blood count (BCB)
• Basic and comprehensive metabolic panels
• A1C
• STI tests
• Thyroid panel
• Lipid panel

How Much Do Lab Services Cost?
If you do not have insurance, this can be a tough question to answer — many things will factor into how much it costs. However, our staff will work with you to devise the most cost-effective plan if you’re paying out of pocket. Most blood work is covered by major insurance companies.

What Is Behavioral Health?
Behavioral health is an extension of mental health — it looks at how habits and actions play into our overall emotional wellbeing. It implements counseling and coaching, as well as medication to help treat various problems.

What Conditions Does Our Behavioral Health Team Treat?
Our team of psychiatric nurse practitioners and licensed counselors are here to treat conditions like anxiety, depression, and ADHD, but are also trained to help with stress management, eating disorders, grief, addiction, substance abuse, learning disabilities, and more.

Benefits of Behavioral Health at Fast Pace Health
This type of care can often feel out of reach for many. Our compassionate staff wants you to benefit from solid and reliable support that’s close to home.

Does Our Location Take Insurance?
Yes, we take most of the major insurance plans, as well as the federal insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare.

Can I Pay Without Insurance at the Clinic?
Paying without insurance is no problem. Our staff can set you up with an easy-to-use payment system.

Can I Pay Online for My Visit to the Clinic?
Yes, navigate to the “bill pay” tab on our site’s main menu to pay any outstanding fees.

Is skin disease serious?

Many skin diseases involve serious health risks. Simple skin conditions might point to an underlying comorbidity disease. Even if the condition is not life-threatening, it may reduce a person’s quality of life and/or limit productivity.

Other skin disease issues:

With skin conditions come issues of perception that deteriorate the quality of life causing loss of sleep, poor self-image, serious depression, and lost productivity. The Fast Pace team understands the interaction between the skin and the body and can provide a combative regimen to correct issues and clear many physical appearances related to conditions. If behavioral health issues form as a result of these conditions and you wish to consult with someone, Fast Pace Health also offers behavioral health consultations.
