Same-Day Sick Visits in Henderson & Las Vegas: When to Skip Urgent Care

February 15, 2026 · 5 min read · By Abigail Leonoras, FNP

Urgent care in Las Vegas runs $150–$300 per visit, often with a 2-hour wait and a provider you've never met. For most everyday illnesses, a same-day appointment with your primary care provider is faster, cheaper, and continuous with the rest of your care.

What we treat same-day at our Henderson office

  • Cold, flu, COVID, RSV, and strep evaluation
  • Sinus infections and seasonal allergies
  • Urinary tract infections in non-pregnant adults
  • Pink eye and minor skin infections
  • Rashes, poison ivy, and allergic reactions (non-anaphylactic)
  • Back pain, sprains, and minor injuries
  • Medication refills you can't wait on

When urgent care or the ER is still the right call

  • Chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, stroke symptoms — call 911
  • Significant cuts that may need stitches
  • Broken bones or possible fractures
  • Severe abdominal pain or vomiting that won't stop
  • High fever in an infant under 3 months

Why patients are switching from urgent care to PCP same-day

Three reasons keep coming up: cost, continuity, and follow-through. A same-day sick visit with us costs less than most Las Vegas urgent cares, your records stay in one place, and we follow up on lab results, refills, and referrals instead of telling you to "see your primary doctor." If a telehealth visit is enough, we'll offer one, see telehealth for how it works.
