Yes, most urgent care centers can perform stitches. Unlike an emergency room, most urgent care centers have short wait times and are much more affordable.
An urgent care clinic is the perfect place to go when you need to get stitches. Most wounds aren’t medical emergencies, but they do need quick treatment.
If the cut is severe and bleeding heavily (specifically showing bone), you should seek immediate care at the ER. Emergency rooms handle all severe injuries and conditions. However, if your cut is not life-threatening but still might require stitches, then urgent care is a great option.
