When to See Your Primary Care Provider vs. Urgent Care

Urgent care can be helpful — but it’s not always the best first choice. At Be. Women’s Health in Frisco, TX, we help women know when to see their PCP and when a same-day urgent visit makes sense.

See your primary care provider for:

✔ Chronic conditions (thyroid, diabetes, anxiety)
✔ Medication refills
✔ Preventive care and screenings
✔ Mild infections (sinus, ear, urinary)
✔ Fatigue or unexplained symptoms
✔ Follow-up after an urgent care visit
✔ Hormone-related concerns

Go to urgent care for:

✔ Injuries
✔ High fever
✔ Vomiting or dehydration
✔ Severe pain
✔ Suspected fractures
✔ After-hours care when symptoms can’t wait

Why PCP should be your first call:

• They know your history
• They track your long-term patterns
• They can often see you same week
• They provide continuity and follow-up

Your provider should be your home base — not your last stop.

Make Be. your first call for women’s primary care in Frisco.
