As a shortage of primary care physicians continues in Central Texas, patients are more frequently choosing to use urgent care facilities to meet their health care needs, industry professionals said in May.

In a nutshell: April Gillam, chief operating officer at Next Level Urgent Care and secretary of the Urgent Care Association, said patients are waiting, on average, around 31 days to see a traditional primary care physician. Seeking more immediate access to health care professionals, she said many are turning to urgent care facilities for primary care needs.

What they’re saying: “We are seeing more of the 'Hey, I have high blood pressure and I haven't been to the doctor in this many years. Can you manage my blood pressure?’” Gillam said. “That's one of the most common things that we see—people who have unmanaged high blood pressure.”
