Knowing when it is time to see a doctor
Recognizing and Treating Heat Illness
North Texas summers are intense, and heat exhaustion can hit fast. If you are experiencing heavy sweating, dizziness, or muscle cramps that do not improve within 30 minutes of cooling down, you need medical attention. Our team is fully prepared for more severe cases of heat stroke, which is a life-threatening emergency where a person becomes confused or has a dangerously high body temperature. We provide the immediate intervention needed to stabilize and treat these conditions quickly.
Keeping a close watch after the pool
Water Safety and the Risk of Secondary Drowning
Whether you are at the lake or a local pool, water safety is about more than just swimming skills. We help families watch for secondary drowning, a serious condition where water in the lungs causes inflammation hours after a near-drowning incident. If there is any sign of trouble breathing up to 24 hours after being in the water, bring them in immediately. We use specialized diagnostic imaging and observation to ensure everyone is safe and breathing clearly.
Advanced diagnostics available 24/7
Quick Care for Breaks, Sprains, and Cuts
Being more active during the summer often leads to more fractures, sprains, and cuts that need stitches. PrimeCare Emergency Center is equipped with on-site digital X-rays and full laboratory services to give you answers right away. Our doctors are available 24/7 to treat both major and minor injuries, using the latest technology to make sure your recovery starts the right way.
