When you’re dealing with a sudden illness or injury, waiting days or weeks for a doctor’s appointment just isn’t an option. You need quick, reliable relief that doesn’t require a trip to the emergency room. That’s where urgent care for non-life-threatening conditions comes in.
At JustDirect, we specialize in providing fast, effective care for illnesses and injuries that need immediate attention but are not life-threatening. With six convenient Miami locations—Downtown Miami, Hialeah, Kendall, Miami Lakes, North Miami Beach, and Westchester—and 24/7 telehealth access, we ensure you get the care you need when you need it most.
Important Note: What JustDirect Does Not Provide
While JustDirect offers comprehensive urgent care services, we do not provide hospitalization or emergency care for life-threatening conditions. If you or someone you know is experiencing a medical emergency—such as chest pain, severe bleeding, difficulty breathing, or a suspected stroke—please call 911 immediately or go to the nearest hospital.
What Is Urgent Care?
Urgent care bridges the gap between routine primary care and emergency room services. It’s designed for non-life-threatening illnesses or injuries that still require prompt attention, such as:
- Minor infections like the flu or sinusitis
- Colds, coughs, and sore throats
- Sprains, strains, and minor fractures
- Cuts, burns, and rashes
- Earaches, eye infections, or allergic reactions
At JustDirect, urgent care is part of our direct primary care model, which makes it accessible, affordable, and personalized.
When to Use Urgent Care vs. Emergency Care
Understanding the difference between urgent care and emergency care can save you time, money, and stress:
Urgent Care Conditions (Handled by JustDirect):
- Minor sprains, strains, or injuries
- Mild to moderate burns or cuts needing stitches
- Common illnesses like the flu, bronchitis, or sinus infections
- Allergies or mild asthma attacks
- Non-severe abdominal pain or nausea
Emergency Care Conditions (Go to the ER or Call 911):
- Chest pain or difficulty breathing
- Severe bleeding or head trauma
- Stroke symptoms, such as sudden weakness or confusion
- Broken bones with visible deformity
- Loss of consciousness or seizures
If you are ever unsure whether your condition is life-threatening, it’s always best to call 911 or seek emergency care.
