Highly Rated

I have received the best care from Northern Nevada Urgent Care. The hardest problem when moving is finding very good medical care and I feel very blessed that I have. I have also gone to their ER because of checking to see of blood clots and today I found my new primary care md. I have had no wait time and I like how I can pre check my urgent care time online and go during my designated time without waiting hours where every one is sick. I know when I go there I have every confidence that I get the best care from every health care provider who cares about your care. .

I’m not sure why so many bad comments. I’ve chosen to go to this location over the others because they have X-ray techs, the wait time is minimal, they put kids movies on their tv and they are nice and I regularly get to see an actual dr. I have no complaints for this location. I have four kids and they will see all at same time if I need it. And I have never driven to this location only to find out they closed early. However the location on Robb Drive is another story.

The staff is very caring and compassionate. We need more clinics like family quick care. They are truly an asset to out community. Without them so many people would be in serious trouble. The are extremely reasonable priced. They don’t take Insurance so I’m never surprised by some doctor bill months down the road. They charge $100 to $120 it might be higher depending on the service you need. I have a choice to go anywhere but I always chose family quick care because the are caring compassionate and understanding. I never feel judged or embarrassed when I am seen. Their compassion and empathy is world class!

About Tetanus Shots

A tetanus shot is used to prevent tetanus, also known as lockjaw. Tetanus is a bacterial infection that can lead to painful muscle spasms, and oftentimes, death. Adults in the US have to be vaccinated against tetanus because there's currently no cure for it and roughly 10 to 20 percent of victims die from tetanus. Symptoms of tetanus come from a toxin produced by tetanus bacteria and usually begin appearing about a week after the infection occurs. The most common symptom is muscle stiffness that begins in the jaw and spreads to the neck, arms, legs, or abdomen, but other symptoms include trouble swallowing, headache, fever and sweating, irritability and restlessness, high blood pressure, palpitations, and muscle spasms in the face.

It's important to get treated for tetanus as soon as you know you're infected because if it's not treated quickly enough, you can die from suffocation. Tetanus shots are given in the shoulder muscle. If you've never had a tetanus shot before, you might be given a three-dose primary series. You'll get the first dose as a three-in-one combination called Tdap that prevents tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), and diphtheria (Td). The other two doses will usually be a dual vaccine and you'll receive them over a 7 to 12 month period. You should receive a tetanus vaccine between 2 months and 6 years old, as well as a teenager and an adult. Pregnant women might need a tetanus shot during the third trimester of pregnancy.
