Same-Day Online Care for Minor Illnesses and Common Symptoms
CLS Health offers virtual urgent care in Houston for minor illnesses and common health concerns that do not require emergency care. With a secure online visit, you can meet with an experienced CLS Health provider during weekday hours, discuss your symptoms, and receive personalized treatment recommendations from home, work, or wherever you are.
When medically appropriate, your provider may prescribe medication, recommend self-care steps, or help coordinate follow-up care within the CLS Health network.
Online Urgent Care from CLS Health
Virtual urgent care gives patients a convenient way to get same-day care for non-emergency symptoms through a secure video appointment. It may be a good option for concerns such as cough, sore throat, sinus congestion, allergies, mild rashes, pink eye, urinary tract infection symptoms, and medication questions.
If your provider determines that you need imaging, laboratory testing, or an in-person exam, CLS Health can help guide your next steps and coordinate care within our connected physician network when appropriate.
Virtual urgent care is not a replacement for emergency care. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department immediately.
When Is Virtual Urgent Care a Good Option?
Virtual urgent care is designed for minor illnesses and common symptoms that can often be evaluated through a video visit. During your appointment, your provider will review your symptoms, medical history, and any concerns that may require additional testing or in-person care.
Respiratory and Allergy Symptoms
Virtual urgent care may help with:
Skin and Eye Concerns
Online urgent care may also be appropriate for certain mild skin and eye symptoms, including:
- Mild rashes
- Skin irritation
- Insect bites
- Pink eye, also called conjunctivitis
Urinary and Digestive Symptoms
A virtual provider may be able to evaluate common urinary or digestive symptoms such as:
- Urinary tract infection symptoms

- Mild diarrhea
- Minor stomach discomfort
General Health Concerns

When Should You Go to the Emergency Room Instead?
Virtual urgent care is not appropriate for severe, sudden, or life-threatening symptoms. Some conditions require immediate in-person emergency care.
Call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department immediately if you are experiencing symptoms that may be serious or life-threatening.
Virtual Urgent Care vs. Primary Care
Virtual urgent care and primary care both play important roles in your health, but they serve different purposes.
Virtual urgent care is a convenient option for minor illnesses that need prompt attention, while primary care is best for preventive care, annual wellness visits, chronic disease management, and long-term health planning.
