Andy Fine, MD, discusses how critical the need for after-hours urgent care is by a wide range of patients.

Patients of all types need after-hours urgent care, says Andy Fine, MD, a doctor of internal medicine as well as a primary care physician in Littleton, Colorado. "Many people have the idea that after-hours urgent care is primary for parents with small children, but this is not the case," he notes. "Patients of all ages and all physical conditions sometimes need urgent care."

With the cost of emergency room care skyrocketing, urgent care facilities are stepping up to become a better way of handling medical emergencies after hours. "Urgent care facilities are filling a crucial role in the healthcare system that has not been met by hospital emergency rooms with their crowded conditions and extremely high costs," he notes. "When you have an after-hours fever on Friday and need to see a doctor before Monday, you do not want to go to an emergency room. It is much better if you can see a doctor in an urgent care center, get your diagnosis and prescription if necessary, and go home to recover."

Urgent care doctors offer after-hours service such as early morning, late evening and weekend office hours. Andy Fine, MD, offers urgent care services through his internal medicine practice to his patients for whom he is primary care physician. By utilizing urgent care rather than emergency rooms, patients can get better care and spend less money.
