How advanced imaging worksFOR MANY APPROPRIATE PATIENTS
≈2hours
Check-in → evaluation/labs → imaging → report → care plan
Often about two hours from check-in through discharge when the needed study is available. Timing varies by clinical needs, study, imaging availability and authorization. Advanced imaging is provided through our radiology partner.

THE DIFFERENCE
More of the workup happens within one connected care pathway — not a chain of disconnected referrals.
Direct admission, beyond urgent careWhen you need admission,
When you need admission,
bypass the ER.
A serious finding should not mean starting over in the emergency room. When inpatient care is needed, we can arrange direct hospital admission for appropriate stable patients—so, once accepted, they move from Choice directly to inpatient care without an ER stop.

Board-certified Emergency Medicine physician · Urgent Care Medical Director
Choice is built around an emergency-medicine approach to urgent care: recognize what can be treated here, use diagnostics early when they change management, and move patients efficiently to the next level when they need more.
That model connects on-site testing and treatment with rapid advanced imaging, a specialty call panel, and direct-admission pathways for appropriate stable patients who need inpatient care.
