What is Urgent Care?

In & Out Urgent Care – Covington/Madisonville, offers immediate medical attention for non-emergency acute illnesses and injuries. Unlike primary care doctors who require scheduled appointments, our clinic is generally a walk-in facility, available during extended hours, including evenings, weekends, and some holidays. We bridge the gap between primary care physicians and hospital emergency rooms, providing care for medical issues that are urgent but not life-threatening.
