When should I go to urgent care vs the ER in Dubuque?
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 Dubuque treat children?
Most urgent care centers treat patients of all ages, including children, and some are pediatric-only; call ahead to check a clinic's minimum age. For infants under 6 months with a high fever, contact a pediatrician or the ER directly.
Can I get an X-ray, lab test, or stitches at urgent care in Dubuque?
Many urgent care centers offer on-site X-rays, basic lab tests (strep, flu, COVID, mono, UTI), IV fluids, sutures, and splints, but not all do. More advanced imaging (MRI, CT) typically requires a hospital. Call the clinic to confirm before you go.

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.
