Why, When, And Where Patients Start Care

WHY

Why Choose Rand Immediate Care?

This is not a generic walk-in clinic. Rand Medical Center positions Immediate Care around same-day injury treatment, urgent musculoskeletal concerns, and faster care for non-critical cases that do not belong in the emergency room.

WHEN

When Should You Use It?

Use Immediate Care when you need help today for sprains, fractures, lacerations, work injuries, auto injuries, illness concerns, or pain that should be treated before it worsens, but is not life-threatening.

WHERE

Where Do You Go?

Patients are seen at Rand Medical Center in Arlington Heights, where board-certified physicians, low wait times, and coordinated follow-up care help patients get treatment started quickly.

A faster and more specialized alternative for urgent injuries

Rand Immediate Care is designed for patients who need prompt treatment, injury-focused expertise, physician-led care, and clear next steps without the long wait of a hospital emergency room.

  • Faster than the ER, with the source page calling out average wait times under 20 minutes for non-critical injuries.
  • Injury-specialist positioning rather than a broad general walk-in clinic approach.
  • Board-certified physicians for every patient visit, with stronger trust language than the earlier Immediate Care source file.
  • No referral needed, plus the option to book ahead online if patients want paperwork ready before arrival.

Immediate Care Questions Patients Ask

Can I walk in for Immediate Care?

Yes. Walk-ins are welcome during regular clinic hours, and patients can also book online ahead of time if they want to reduce wait time even more.

What should I bring to my visit?

Bring your photo ID and insurance card. For work injuries, bring employer information and any incident details. For auto injuries, bring your claim number if available.

How long will my visit take?

Most visits are completed within about 45 minutes to an hour, including any imaging or diagnostic work needed. More complex cases may take longer.

Do you accept Workers’ Compensation cases?

Yes. Workers’ Compensation is presented as a core Rand specialty, with required documentation and insurance communication handled as part of the process.

What if I need follow-up care or physical therapy?

The page emphasizes comprehensive care under one roof. If you need continued treatment, physical therapy, or pain management after the visit, Rand can coordinate that in-house.

What injuries are too serious for Immediate Care?

Call 911 or go directly to the ER for life-threatening emergencies such as chest pain, severe breathing problems, severe bleeding, compound fractures, or suspected head or spinal injuries.
