When should I go to urgent care vs the ER in Tahoe City?
Go to urgent care for non-life-threatening illness or injury: fevers, sprains, infections, minor cuts, mild asthma, UTIs, flu, rashes. Go to the ER for chest pain, severe abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, sudden weakness or numbness, severe head injury, heavy bleeding, severe burns, or any potentially life-threatening symptom. When in doubt with a serious symptom, call 911.
Do urgent care centers in Tahoe City treat children?

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.
