Digital X-rays for fast results and diagnostic accuracy.

Getwell Urgent Care of Southaven uses digital X-ray technology, which uses less radiation, provides fast turnaround of images, and gives us the ability to manipulate images for more accurate readings. We follow the highest safety standards, with certified equipment and licensed radiology technologists to ensure an excellent image the first time and minimal exposure to radiation. We use digital X-ray to diagnose broken bones, certain lung conditions (e.g., pneumonia), and certain abdominal conditions.

 

EKG enables us to measure heart activity quickly and painlessly.

An EKG is a painless, routine test performed as part of our urgent care services that measure the electrical impulses produced by the heart. Patients are asked to undress from the waist up and wear a patient gown. Lying down, the patient is then connected to 12 lead wires, which transmit the information from the heart to the EKG machine. You will be asked to lie quietly for a few minutes until the EKG machine captures the data and prints out a reading (“tracing”) of your heart’s electrical activity.

 

Onsite lab for bloodwork, urinalysis and more with rapid turnaround.

In our onsite lab at Getwell Urgent Care of Southaven in Mississippi, we conduct and process blood tests, urine tests, and other types of lab work—strep test, flu test, blood glucose and more—to help our providers diagnose illnesses and monitor the effects of medications and other treatments. These are valuable tools that can identify the cause of your symptoms and ensure your medication is working as it should.
