Due to an increasing community need for urgent medical services, Sansum Clinic is expanding its Urgent Care hours starting Aug. 10. The Urgent Care Clinic, 215 Pesetas Lane, Santa Barbara, will now be open 8 a.m.-7 p.m. seven days a week.
The clinic is staffed by nearly 20 physicians and advanced-practice providers with specialized education in emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine and sports medicine.
Sansum Clinic Urgent Care offers immediate care when a same-day visit with a doctor is not possible, or if treatment is required outside of office hours.
Urgent Care is following all proper precautions against COVID-19, such as masking, social distancing and enhanced cleaning protocols, so patients can feel confident they are protected.
The department's focus is treating minor emergencies, acute problems and urgent medical needs of pediatric, adolescent and adult patients. Walk-ins are welcome, no appointment is needed and you do not have to be a Sansum Clinic patient to receive treatment.
Symptoms that can be evaluated and treated at Urgent Care include colds, sore throats, fevers, vomiting, eye, ear or bladder infections, abdominal pain, breaks or sprains, bites or burns, rashes, difficulty with breathing or vision, dehydration, cuts or injuries that may require stitches.
Sansum Clinic’s Urgent Care offers advanced imaging and intravenous therapies, saving patients a trip to another location. The clinic's physicians are also experienced and trained to treat concussions and sports-related injuries. Urgent Care provides on-site lab and pharmacy services.
“Sansum Clinic’s Urgent Care, with advanced imaging and other diagnostic testing capabilities, allows us to provide the type of care and services that typically would only be found in an emergency room setting, and we have shorter wait times and lower costs to the patient,” said Dr. Marjorie Newman, Sansum Clinic medical director.
To better inform patients of wait times before they arrive, the Sansum Clinic Urgent Care Wait Time App is available on Apple iTunes. In the App Store, search Sansum Urgent Care.
