Frequently asked questions
Which urgent care clinics offer X-rays?
AFC Urgent Care Denver Highlands, Cherry Creek, Aurora Havana, and University Hills are associated with injury visits requiring imaging or X-rays. Confirm on-site availability and whether your injury is appropriate for urgent care before traveling.
Can children be seen at Denver urgent care clinics?
Several listed clinics highlight pediatric urgent care or pediatric visits, including Cherry Creek, Speer, University Hills, and Five Points. Ask about age limits, appointment requirements, and whether the child’s symptoms need emergency care instead.
Where can I ask about rapid testing?
AFC Urgent Care Denver Five Points and Aurora Colfax are associated with rapid testing needs. Confirm the exact test, turnaround expectations, preparation, and whether results are delivered during the same visit.
What should I bring to an urgent care visit?
Bring a current medication list, allergies, identification, insurance information, and a short symptom timeline. For an injury, note when it happened and what movement or treatment has already been attempted.
When is urgent care not the right setting?
Urgent care is not a substitute for emergency services when symptoms are severe, rapidly worsening, or potentially life-threatening. In that situation, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room instead of waiting for a clinic appointment.
