Gabriella and Rod were absolutely great. I needed stitches but they did everything in their power to avoid it, and got me all patched up without it which I am super grateful for. They are very helpful and very good at what they do.
FAQ
Dehydration: Symptoms FAQ
Can urgent care give IV fluids for dehydration?
Yes. Urgent care providers can place an IV and give fluids and electrolytes on site, which is often all that is needed for moderate dehydration. At Vitality, IV hydration is available for patients 16 and older.
How do I know if I am dehydrated enough to need IV fluids?
If you have been vomiting or having diarrhea and cannot keep liquids down, or you feel dizzy, weak, and your urine stays dark despite drinking, oral fluids may not be enough. That is when IV fluids may make sense. A quick evaluation can confirm the best next step.
What are the signs of severe dehydration?
Severe dehydration signs include confusion, trouble staying awake, fainting, racing heart, rapid breathing, little or no urination, sunken eyes, and cold, clammy skin. In infants, watch for a sunken soft spot, no wet diapers, and no tears when crying. These are emergency signs. Go to the ER or call 911.
Should I go to urgent care or the ER for dehydration?
Urgent care is appropriate for dehydration when you are stable but cannot rehydrate on your own and may need IV fluids. Go to the ER for severe warning signs, a severely dehydrated infant, or a pregnant patient with severe symptoms.
How long does an IV fluid treatment take?
A standard bag of IV fluids usually runs over about 30 to 60 minutes. With check in, vitals, and the evaluation, plan for roughly an hour from start to finish.
How quickly will I feel better after IV fluids?
Many patients begin feeling better during or shortly after treatment, but results depend on the cause and severity of dehydration. A provider must first determine whether IV fluids are appropriate.
Can kids get IV fluids for dehydration at urgent care?
At Vitality, IV hydration is offered to patients 16 and older. For younger children with mild to moderate dehydration, the recommended first step is an oral rehydration solution like Pedialyte in small, frequent sips. This often works well enough to avoid an IV. If a child does need IV fluids, the safest setting is a pediatric emergency department. We can still evaluate your child and advise on next steps.
Can dehydration cause a headache?
Yes. Fluid loss can contribute to headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and difficulty concentrating. A severe or unusual headache may have another cause and should be evaluated.
Are sports drinks good for dehydration?
Sports drinks may help replace fluids after sweating or prolonged exercise. For vomiting or diarrhea, an oral rehydration solution usually provides a more appropriate balance of water, sodium, and glucose. Full strength juice and soda may worsen diarrhea.

Came to this new location because the buffalo grove one didn’t have appointments, and I am just as impressed. Superior to any urgent care period. Mark is incredible with my 3-year-old. Such a wonderful, clean place. Cannot recommend enough.

I visited this urgent care clinic today with my daughter, and I was extremely impressed from the moment we walked in. The facility is brand new, very clean, and beautifully remodeled, which immediately made us feel comfortable. The staff was incredibly pleasant, welcoming us with kindness and professionalism. Our Provider Rodion, was especially kind, patient, and gentle while helping my daughter, who had her ear-piercing stuck and needed a small intervention. He explained everything clearly and took great care to make sure she wasn’t scared or uncomfortable. The treatment was done quickly, safely, and very professionally. And to top it off, my kiddo even received a small gift from Rodion, which absolutely made her day and was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and I highly recommend this urgent care to anyone needing prompt, caring, and professional medical help.

This is the best service I have ever received at an Urgent Care facility. Professional service from the time I walked into the facility through the entire process. Keep up the great work.
— Jeff Foshee (Google) Buffalo Grove Urgent Care Location
I’m very impressed with the quality of service I received at this clinic. Staff was helpful and welcoming, the nurse and NP were both thorough in the exam and I did not feel like I was being rushed out the door. The place is very clean. I would definitely recommend!
— Anastasiya Sirota (Google) Buffalo Grove Urgent Care Location
From the nurse all the way down to the receptionist, I felt very welcomed and safe here. I would like to give a special thanks to Mark. He was kind and patient, and he listened to what I had to say without interrupting me and he made me feel heard, safe, and comfortable; a rarity for me when it comes to male provider. Seeing people day in and day out and he was still able to be KIND and UNDERSTANDING and ESPECIALLY EMPATHETIC; a rarity in today’s doctors. He is also conscientious of wanting to save you money if you don’t have insurance if you have to take test that you can’t afford if you don’t really need it. So thank you so much to the team of Vitality Urgent Care for making my appointment go as smooth and as quick as possible. I hope to not get sick again and lose my voice for a very long while, but if and when I do, I’ll be sure to come back to the BEST urgent care I’ve been to and know; Vitality Urgent Care.

— Natalia Solonyna (Google) Lake Zurich Urgent Care Location
Very prompt, and thorough. Were able to remove part of a bug, and diagnose a corneal scratch. Given antibiotics, and pain drops. I also have white coat syndrome, and instead of freaking out about bp, and insisting , I have high bp. They waited awhile , retook it manually, and it was normal. Impressed. And I was able to walk there, it is so close! Highly recommend

Thank You Vitality!
— Nikki Sanford (Google) Lake Zurich Urgent Care LocationBuffalo Grove Urgent Care Location
We had excellent and very responsive service. We went for a pre-travel Covid test and the process couldn’t be smoother. We received our test results same day. Highly recommend. Thanks, Rod!
— Diana Zhitnitsky (Google) Buffalo Grove Urgent Care Location
I cannot say enough good things about the company. I was pretty sick and decided to go to an urgent care. Vitality urgent care came in my search and I decided to bring the service home instead of going to an urgent care for the same price. I hate going somewhere in traffics, looking for parking and sitting in crowded rooms being exposed to other germs. The gentlemen that answer the phone asked me few questions about my symptoms. He gave me a two-hour window during which they arrived. The provider was friendly, super personal and interacted well with my entire family during the visit. They conducted both Strep and Flu test in my living room. Frankly, could not ask for better service.
