Among the many things they treat are colds, flu, upper respiratory, throat, sinus, ear and urinary infections, abscesses, ingrown toenails, bites, rashes, asthma, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, nose bleeds, and corneal abrasions. Injuries include cuts, scrapes, lacerations, minor burns, and minor fractures. They can treat dehydration with an IV, do STD and HIV screening, annual physicals, TB skin tests, cholesterol, diabetic and thyroid screening and lots more. They do suggest that complaints such as chest pains, vomiting blood, difficulty breathing or other potentially life-threatening conditions should be brought to a local hospital.

Rapid Response accepts most insurance plans. Co-payments are generally quite a bit less than in an ER. Those who do not have insurance can be treated for an affordable fee. No appointment is ever necessary. In most cases, you will be in and out in less than a half hour. Hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends.
