Our Covid-19 Response at Falcon Urgent Care
Most think that Covid is not longer a thing or something to worry about. True, the days of 4,000 Americans dying a day have passed. It’s closer to 400 victims/day now. Though the more recent strains around are not as severe and now more equated to the FLU or nasty cold, it’s still killing people. We endorse getting the latest Covid shots, especially those at most risk. The bad news fact is that this virus seems pervasive and persistent everywhere. The FLU left our area this spring, but Covid is still a frequent diagnosis and continues to hang around. Currently we are seeing about 6-10 cases a week is about our average, even during the summer. Usually it’s more than one family member.
Please don’t be afraid to come to our clinic. We’ll take care of you. Currently, some are still avoiding or hesitant to seek medical care due to fear. The thought of being in a waiting room with others, causes dread and fear for some people. This should not be an issue at our clinic. We have made some changes.
What we’re doing: We are trying our best to have NO ONE sitting in our waiting room. As soon as a patient has registered at the front desk, our staff will take them to an exam room, if one is available, where they are checked in. If a patient has a cough, we will ask them to wait wear a mask and will be given one at the desk, children too. We will not have a feverish, coughing patient in the waiting room with someone with a sprained ankle.

No one should ever wait for one. Just come in. Your appointment time is when you arrive. So you can never be late for your appointment. There is no need to plan your entire day around an appointment.
We’ll do our best to make your experience with us as easy and convenient as possible. Once you arrive, you’ll have minimum paperwork to fill out. We’ve streamlined the check-in process.

We’ll take the time to listen and understand. We don’t just treat the symptoms; we treat the cause. It’s our holistic approach to treatment that can make a difference in your return to good health.
We have an X-ray on site for work, sports, and play injuries, owies, and booboos–for patients of all ages. We love our kiddos! We are very comfortable with Pediatrics.
Dr. Raper can provide Spinal Manipulation Therapy for those with neck and back pain; and as a compliment to common treatments of other medical problems. As a DO, he is well trained in this medical art.
We run an efficient, triage-style urgent care facility. We triage just like ERs and first responders. Meaning, 95% of the time we are treating the usual injuries and illnesses usually on a first come, first served basis. But if you or someone comes in with acute pain, or an acute injury or you are bleeding, you will be triaged as a priority and seen as immediately as possible. The severely ill or injured have priority for treatment. If the problem is too severe for our facility, 911 may be activated.
If you have needs that cannot be diagnosed and treated at our office, we’ll refer you to a specialist or the closest ER. One of our priorities is to try to keep our patients out of the ER; but we will refer to the ER when appropriate.
In addition to those ailments and injuries listed below, we provide well-body checks for:
School and Sports Physicals, $29 for those still in school. For those in college or out of school we can perform adult physicals too with some limitations (not for overseas physicals).
