Yes—we handle suturing and most simple wounds right here in the clinic, often saving patients a long and expensive trip to the emergency room.
Cuts, lacerations, and minor injuries are common reasons people visit urgent care. Our providers are experienced in evaluating wounds to determine whether they can be safely treated in the clinic or need a higher level of care. Many injuries that look concerning at first glance can be cleaned, numbed, and repaired quickly with sutures, staples, or skin adhesive.
One of the advantages of our clinic is that our providers have extensive emergency room experience. That background matters when it comes to wound care—proper cleaning, layered closure when needed, minimizing scarring, and recognizing injuries that require additional imaging or specialist follow-up. We approach each wound carefully, not just to close it, but to promote proper healing and reduce the risk of infection.
In addition to placing sutures, we also provide wound irrigation, bandaging, tetanus updates, and follow-up guidanceso you know exactly how to care for the injury at home. If sutures are placed, we’ll also let you know when and where they should be removed.
If you or your child has a cut or laceration and aren’t sure where to go, urgent care is often the right first stop. Our team is here to provide prompt, professional wound care—without the wait or cost of the emergency room.
