3. Primary care versus urgent care – what’s the difference? How do I choose when to schedule an appointment with a primary care physician or visit urgent care?
Deciding whether to go to urgent care or primary care physician depends on the nature and severity of your medical issue. Below are some guidelines to help you make the decision whether to go to your Hoag primary care physician or an urgent care provider:
Primary Care
Routine Check-Ups: For annual physical exams, vaccinations, and preventive care, your primary care doctor is the best choice.
Chronic Conditions: For ongoing management of chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, asthma, and depression, you should see your primary care physician regularly.
Long-Term Care: If you have a complex or long-term medical issue that requires ongoing care and monitoring, your primary care doctor will provide continuity of care.
Referrals: Your primary care physician can refer you to specialists and/or order tests, if necessary, which may not be available at an urgent care center.
Vaccinations: Primary care should be the first stop for basic vaccinations such as flu shots, Covid-19 vaccines and other recommended immunizations.
Prescription Refills
A primary care physician serves as your guide and helps coordinate your care during times of well-being and sickness. Whether you have an HMO or PPO health plan, a relationship with a primary care physician has many benefits for your long-term health and wellness.

Urgent Care
Acute Injuries: Go to urgent care for minor injuries like sprains, strains, minor fractures, cuts and burns that aren’t life-threatening but require immediate attention.
Common Illnesses: If you have a non-life-threatening illness such as a fever, flu, cold, ear infection or urinary tract infection (UTI) and can’t get a same-day appointment with your primary care physician, urgent care can be a good option.
Minor Procedures: Some urgent care centers can perform minor procedures like providing stitches or draining abscesses.
After-Hours Care: When you need care outside of regular office hours or on weekends when your primary care physician is unavailable.
Hoag Urgent Care provides care for patients of all ages.
Ultimately, the decision between urgent care and primary care depends on the urgency of your medical issue and the availability of your primary care physician. If you are unsure, it’s recommended that you contact your doctor’s office for guidance or the Hoag Medical Group Nurse Advice Line at 949-688-2773.
Remember that if you have a life-threatening emergency, such as severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, signs of stroke, or any other critical condition, you should call 9-1-1 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately.
