What can you expect when you visit our clinic?

We are open every day of the week from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm.
Patients are seen by appointment only.
To make an appointment, call us now at +36 30 298 0137.
Due to the nature of our urgent care service, we cannot always guarantee an exact consultation time. You may therefore be asked to wait before seeing a physician. Waiting times depend on the number of patients requiring care and the urgency of their medical conditions. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
Upon arrival, please register at reception.
- After registration, one of our nurses will see you as soon as possible for an initial assessment. If appropriate, they may provide pain or fever relief medication, an ice pack, temporary immobilisation, or basic wound care while you are waiting.
- When it is your turn, you will be called in to see the doctor.
IMPORTANT: We generally call patients in according to their scheduled arrival and registration. However, as an urgent care clinic, we prioritise patients according to medical urgency. If we assess that another patient requires more urgent medical attention, they may be seen earlier regardless of their time of arrival.
After registration, you may wait in our waiting area or outside. If you arrived by car, you may also choose to wait in your car. We will notify you when it is your turn to see the doctor.
The purpose of our appointment system is to distribute consultations more evenly throughout the day, reduce overcrowding and minimise waiting times.
Appointments are available for the current day only.
The UC Rendelő
At the UC Rendelő we provide urgent care (acute care). Urgent care medicine is one of the primary types of care, which has developed in the last 20-25 years, accommodating to the modern, hectic lifestyle of our patients.
Urgent care clinics do not house doctors of different specialties like ophthalmologists, ear-nose-throat doctors, dermatologists, surgeons or internal medicine doctors. They instead provide care through skilled doctors who have experience working in urgent care medicine, and are able to diagnose and treat most minor problems that don’t require hospital-level care from each specialty.
Doctors working in urgent-care have an emergency-medicine oriented view, this means two things:
- When presented with the patient’s problem the first thing we always do is rule out any possible dangerous or life threatening conditions.
If they are unable to do this with the diagnostic tools available in our UC clinic, for example: blood test, CT scan, then they will refer you to the hospital’s emergency department, and help organise your care there.
- Secondly our doctors know their diagnostic and therapeutic competency limits, and will know when it is necessary to refer their patients to specialists, for any further interventions or treatments.
It’s Monday morning and you fell while walking on the street. You can’t put any weight on your rapidly swelling ankle, and you are in pain.Should you head to the Emergency Department (Sürgősségi) or Urgent Care?
If you’ve been in a similar situation and wondered which option is better, you are not alone. Many people are confused about when to use it.
Here are a few differences between Emergency Departments and Urgent Care clinics:
Severity of health problems
An Emergency Department treats life- or limb-threatening health conditions in people of all ages. It is the best option when you require immediate medical attention. There are no private emergency care services in Hungary.
Urgent Care is the middle ground between your primary care provider and the Emergency Department. If you have a minor illness or injury that can’t wait until tomorrow, Urgent Care is the way to go. Also, it is a good option if you have illnesses or injuries without other symptoms, or if you do not have other underlying health conditions. For example, an earache can easily be treated in Urgent Care. However, if it is accompanied by a high fever (104 degrees Fahrenheit 39 Celsius or higher), or you have a history of cancer or are on immune-suppressing medication, it is important to have it checked out in the Emergency Department.
Hours and staff
Emergency Departments are staffed 24/7 with physicians, nurses and trained in delivering emergency care. The team has quick access to expert providers in advanced specialties such as Cardiology, Neurology and Orthopedics. Emergency Departments also have the imaging and laboratory resources needed to diagnose and deliver care for severe and life-threatening situations.
Typically, Urgent Care clinics are staffed with physician trained in providing care for non-life threatening conditions and injuries.Urgent Care providers can order basic labs and imaging tests, such as X-rays, to help them provide diagnoses and develop treatment plans. Urgent Care clinics have set hours and an established list of conditions treated. As a result, Urgent Care clinics have shorter wait times than Emergency Departments.
Here are examples of types of conditions treated in Urgent Care clinics and Emergency Departments:
-
Urgent Care clinic:
- Back or muscle pain
- Bronchitis
- Cuts and minor burns
- Diarrhea
- Earache
- Skin conditions
- Sprains or joint pain
- Upper respiratory infection
- Urinary tract infections
- Vomiting
-
Emergency Department:
- Chest pain or pressure
- Compound fracture (bone that protrudes through the skin)
- Head injuries
- Pneumonia
- Seizures
- Severe abdominal pain
- Shortness of breath
- Sudden, severe headache, or paralysis or weakness
- Uncontrolled bleeding
Always call 112 and don’t drive yourself to the Emergency Department if you are having difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, a life or limb injury, or signs of stroke or heart attack.
