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 Northampton 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 Northampton?

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.
