    After 2 months of being ill, I am now recovering thanks to the medication they prescribed for me. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

Some urgent care centers offer telehealth visits for non-emergency issues like cold and flu symptoms, prescription refills, rashes, or follow-up care. In-person visits are still required for X-rays, lab tests, and physical exams. Ask the clinic whether it offers telehealth.
