Should I go to DoctorsNow or the emergency room?
DoctorsNow cares for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries. If you’re having a true medical emergency, call 911.
If your condition is less serious but still requires immediate attention, however, a visit to DoctorsNow can save you time and money. When you go to the ER for a minor illness or injury, you might wait for several hours and pay considerably more, even with insurance.
