Sniffles, sprains, stomach upset–we all know the symptoms that send you running for the nearest urgent care facility. While minor ills and injuries are easily treated by our medical experts, Urgent Care of Fairhope offers even more services to safeguard your family’s health. Prepare to be pleasantly surprised as we unveil 8 things you probably didn’t know you could do at our urgent care facility. Let’s dive into these hidden gems!
