Our Responsive Urgent Care Services
From flu and migraines to sports injuries and allergic reactions, people cannot predict when an unexpected illness or injury will strike. And that’s why Advanced Urgent Care & Wellness stands in the gap between a routine doctor’s appointment and an emergency room visit. Our extensive urgent care services provide high-quality medical care to adults and children. We are available for immediate urgent care services in the following areas.
Adult Urgent Care
At Advanced Care & Wellness we can treat the whole family, all ages. Young adults and older adults alike enjoy the convenience of visiting our Lincolnton urgent care. For example, we’re one of the few medical settings (besides an ER) that can take x-rays on-site to treat breaks and sprains without the wait. Our services also cover treating colds, sniffles and seasonal allergies – we handle these and more at our urgent care treatment center.
Pediatric Urgent Care
Our pediatric urgent care services ensure that younger patients receive reliable medical attention in a child-friendly environment. Families can get convenient access to treatments for children’s colds and flu, strep throat, allergies, skin rashes and more. Childhood injury and sickness are a frequent source of stress and anxiety for parents, and you can rest assured we’re here to meet your pediatric healthcare needs.
Telemedicine
Telemedicine allows patients to have doctor appointments and follow-up care through our convenient digital platform. For non-emergency situations where access to a medical professional is key, our urgent care telemedicine service lets you get medical treatment from the comfort of your home. This straightforward option is helpful for both evaluating symptoms and getting medical treatment, particularly where in-person visits are not an option.
COVID & Lab Testing
COVID & lab testing services (including rapid COVID-19 tests) are crucial for timely diagnosis and management of infectious diseases. Our ability to perform these tests on-site and get quick results plays a critical role in treating illnesses and containing viruses. After a detailed analysis of symptoms and a physical exam, your doctor may request blood, urine and other tests.
On-site X-rays
On-site X-rays in Lincolnton are a vital component of urgent care, offering immediate imaging to diagnose injuries such as fractures and dislocations. At Advanced Urgent Care & Wellness, following a sports injury or minor motor vehicle accident we may recommend an X-ray to help diagnose an issue. The resulting information allows for same-day intervention, including splinting and casting.
Flu Shots & Vaccinations
A visit to our urgent care and wellness center is the most convenient way to stay up-to-date with flu shots and vaccinations. With a clean, comfortable environment and a warm, friendly team of medical professionals, patients can be protected from flu season outbreaks, as well as protect themselves from other illnesses such as shingles and pneumonia.
Physical Exams
When you need a physical exam for sports, school or work, make sure to visit us at Advanced Urgent Care & Wellness in Lincolnton. Our experienced professionals perform comprehensive physical examinations without the long waits often encountered at a doctor’s office. Whether you want an annual physical assessment to stay on top of your health, a DOT physical for work, or clearance to join a sports team, we can provide the medical examinations needed.

Common Questions About Urgent Care
What’s the difference between urgent care and the emergency room?
Urgent care treats conditions you would normally visit your primary care physician for – without the long waits. An emergency room (ER) provides treatments for life-threatening or severe conditions. Visiting an urgent care center offers fast, convenient access to medical staff.
Does urgent care provide services for children?
Urgent care provides a range of services for children aged three months and older. Treatment options for children cover colds, fevers, headaches, allergies, fractures, sinusitis, plus the vaccinations required by schools and more.
What should I do before an urgent care visit?
Before an urgent care visit you should collect any relevant medical records and a list of medications, along with your insurance information. Also, keep a record of your allergies and consider (and jot down) any questions you’d like to ask the medical provider during the visit.
