What happens during a personal injury appointment?

During an urgent care visit to Frontier Medical Group for a personal injury, your provider offers pain relief if needed. They review your accident history, medical history, symptoms, medications, and lifestyle.

Your urgent care specialist checks your blood pressure and other vital signs. They complete a comprehensive physical exam to look for signs of injuries.

Your provider takes notes and fills out appropriate medical forms to document the type and severity of your personal injury for legal reasons.
