It took me time to share my experience as I lack words adequately strong to convey my satisfaction. The professionalism of every staff on duty was unrivaled. From the front desk staff to the doctor. I stepped into the venue crying due to the excruciating pain in my injured finger, but shortly, I found me smiling and joking due to the effect of the immediate care that I received. I felt like I have known every staff for years. The accident I had badly ripped my finger flesh apart. By the time the doctor was done with the stitches, it was certain that my finger will heal neatly. The doctor is very confident, brilliant and I observed that he likes what he does for a living. I asked for the scope of their practice and was informed that they provide care beyond emergencies, including flu, COVID, physical, check up etc.
I had a call after about 2.5hrs, asking my relief status.
I am 100% satisfied with the care that was provided to me. I will always patronize Urgent Care Plus and Wellness as needed.
I recommend them with my full chest.
My prayers for them include unrivaled success.
When to Seek Care for a Minor Crush Injury
You should visit our urgent care clinic if you experience:
- Swelling or bruising after impact
- Persistent pain or tenderness
- Numbness or tingling in the area
- Skin damage or open wounds
- Trouble moving the affected part
Even if there’s no visible break, crush injuries can involve soft tissue damage, pressure-related complications, or hidden fractures that benefit from proper medical evaluation.
What to Expect During Treatment
Our clinic is equipped to diagnose and manage most minor crush injuries involving fingers, toes, hands, or feet. Here’s what we offer:
Thorough Evaluation
Dr. Luke will examine the injury and determine whether additional imaging is needed. We use in-house digital X-rays to rule out fractures or assess bone alignment.
Wound Care
If the skin is broken, we’ll thoroughly clean and dress the area to prevent infection. Deeper wounds may require suturing or dressing.
Swelling & Pain Management
We may recommend cold compresses, elevation, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication for pain relief and to reduce inflammation.
Immobilization or Splinting
For injuries involving toes, fingers, or joints, a temporary splint or buddy taping may be used to protect the area and allow proper healing.
Tetanus & Antibiotics
If your injury involves an open wound or is at risk of infection, we’ll administer a tetanus booster and/or prescribe antibiotics as needed.
