Frequently Asked Questions
Can you book an online urgent care visit in Virginia?
Yes, urgent care does online visits. Many of the conditions that are treated at an in-person urgent care facility can also be treated during a virtual urgent care appointment. Urgent care treats non-severe injuries, illnesses, and infections. Some injuries cannot be treated virtually, and require emergency room (ER) treatment. Some examples of conditions that can be treated through urgent care include ear infections, sinus infections, urinary tract infections, common colds, and dehydration. Our online urgent care doctors work with patients to create a treatment plan and can write a prescription if necessary.
Can urgent care prescribe antibiotics in Virginia?
Yes, urgent care can prescribe antibiotics in Virginia. Our doctors can prescribe antibiotics, antidepressants, birth control, antihistamines, and antiviral medications. During your appointment, your doctor will determine if medication is needed and write a prescription if you qualify. Your doctor will then send your prescription to the pharmacy of your choice for you to pick up.
Can I go to urgent care if I do not have a doctor?
