Only some urgent care clinics can do ultrasounds because, though they are versatile tools, they’re rarely needed unless it’s a true emergency. In that case, your doctor will likely order one for you before you can even ask, “Do urgent cares do ultrasounds?”
Ultrasounds are normally scheduled for routine checkups (e.g., pregnancy) or emergencies, with little in-between. That’s why many urgent care clinics, including Coastal Urgent Care of Bossier & Haughton, do not have a sonographer on staff.
That being said, it’s our goal to provide everyone compassionate, comprehensive care. We’re equipped with onsite vital diagnostic technology like digital X-rays and electrocardiogram (EKG) as well as an on-site lab for things like blood tests and urinalysis, so you can get the answers and treatment you need, fast.

During the test, several electrodes (small, plastic patches) are placed at certain spots on the chest, arm, and legs.

Once the test is complete, a medical professional interprets the printout to understand how fast your heart is beating, whether your heartbeats are steady or irregular, the strength of the heartbeats, and the timing of the electrical impulses as they move through the different chambers of the heart. All of this information can help diagnose potential heart-related conditions.
When you visit an urgent care clinic with concerns about your heart health, the doctors can perform an EKG to evaluate and/or determine the cause of:
