Urgent Care Locations Open Now in Minneapolis, MN

At Blue Crescent Urgent Care, we are a crucial part of the healthcare system, providing an extensive range of services for immediate, non-life-threatening health concerns. We bridge the gap between emergency rooms and regular doctor’s appointments, offering a convenient alternative for minor emergencies that require prompt attention but aren’t severe enough to warrant a visit to the ER. Blue Crescent Urgent Care is equipped to handle a wide array of common ailments and minor injuries. We treat minor injuries like burns, cuts, sprains, fractures, dislocations, infections and allergies. In addition to treatment services, we provide diagnostic services, including physical examinations, health screenings, lab tests, blood tests, urine tests, and treatments for urinary tract infections (UTIs). We also offer sports physicals, travel medicine consultations, vaccinations, drug testing, and pregnancy tests.

We accept walk-in appointments without a referral and often have extended hours of operation. The cost of a visit is also typically lower than that of an emergency room visit. Blue Crescent Urgent Care is the ideal choice when you have a non-life-threatening but urgent medical condition that requires prompt attention, when you cannot get an appointment with your primary care physician in a timely manner when you have a minor injury that needs treatment but is not severe enough for the emergency room, or when you need a diagnostic test or treatment that is not available at your primary care physician’s office

Local hospitals, health centers, or your primary care physician’s office can provide information about the nearest urgent care facilities and their expected wait times. They may also assist in scheduling an appointment for you. Many urgent care centers update their wait times on social media platforms, so following them can help keep you informed.

It’s important to check reviews and ratings, as the shortest wait time may not always ensure the best care. Always confirm wait times before heading to an urgent care center, and if wait times are too long, consider visiting another location or seeking care elsewhere. For life-threatening situations, always call 911 or go directly to the nearest emergency room.

Use search engines or mapping applications and search terms like “urgent care near me” in the search fields. Google Maps also lets you filter results by “wait time” for real-time estimates.

Blue Crescent Urgent Care is designed to provide immediate medical attention for non-life-threatening conditions, offering flexibility with walk-in services. This allows you to visit our clinic at your convenience without the need for an appointment, making it an ideal option for unexpected health issues. Whether it’s a minor injury or a sudden illness, our walk-in services ensure you can receive care quickly.

However, we recognize that some patients may prefer scheduling an appointment, especially for ongoing issues such as persistent coughs, and fevers, or for specific procedures like blood tests. Booking an appointment can help reduce wait times, expedite treatment through pre-screening, and ensure a reserved spot for necessary tests or procedures.

Regardless of whether you choose to walk in or schedule an appointment, Blue Crescent Urgent Care is equipped to provide care for both scenarios. Walk-ins are accepted for urgent medical needs including minor injuries or unexpected illnesses. It’s always a good idea to reach out in advance to inquire about availability and wait times, especially during peak hours, to ensure a smoother and more efficient visit.

In today’s fast-paced world, accessing healthcare promptly and conveniently is of utmost importance. Blue Crescent Urgent Care understands this need and offers virtual consultations, also known as telemedicine or telehealth. This service allows patients to consult with healthcare professionals over the phone or via video call for a wide range of conditions, including minor injuries and illnesses, chronic disease management, and certain types of emergency medical conditions. Through our secure platform, patients can discuss symptoms, and receive medical advice, treatment plans, or prescriptions without needing to travel or wait in a waiting room.

Our virtual consultations are ideal for non-life-threatening issues such as minor illnesses, allergies, skin conditions, urinary tract infections, and prescription refills for routine medications. Patients can anticipate the same superior level of attention and professionalism that they would receive in person. Our provider can ensure a smooth encounter by sending medications straight to the patient’s preferred pharmacy if needed. For a lot of our patients, the ease of getting treatment from home or the office, along with the quickness and privacy of virtual consultations, makes this choice perfect.

While virtual consultations offer many benefits, it’s important to remember that they are not suitable for all medical conditions. For life-threatening emergencies such as severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, or excessive bleeding, always call 911 immediately.
