At True Compassion Urgent Care, we combine advanced diagnostic capabilities with expert wound care and minor surgical procedures. Our providers assess each injury thoroughly, utilizing on-site X-rays when needed to rule out fractures.

For work-related injuries, we're experienced with Workers' Compensation cases and provide all necessary documentation.

Recovery & Follow-Up Care
Recovery time depends on the type and severity of your injury. We provide detailed instructions for wound care, activity restrictions, pain management, and when to follow up. For stitches, we can remove them in our office typically 5-14 days after placement depending on location. For sprains and strains, we recommend rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE protocol) along with appropriate pain management. Fractures may require follow-up with an orthopedic specialist, which we can arrange. Return immediately if you notice signs of infection including increased redness, swelling, warmth, pus, red streaks, or fever.
