Urgent care

From fixing fractures to fighting the flu. We're here for you 7 days a week.

You likely didn’t plan to suffer through a workday with a sinus infection or cut your finger making dinner. But, you can be seen quickly for unexpected illness, infection or injury, at a time that fits your schedule. Urgent care is a convenient choice when your clinic is closed or you can’t get an appointment that fits your schedule.

Our urgent care locations are open late, including weekends and most holidays. Walk ins are always welcome, or you can check wait times and hold your spot in line until your arrival time with On My Way.

What it is

abdominal pain
allergies
asthma or breathing trouble
back pain
burn, frostbite, sunburn
cough, cold or flu symptoms
cut or bruise
dehydration
diarrhea
ear pain
eye irritation or injury, or minor changes in vision
fever
migraine and headache
pink eye
rash
respiratory infection
sinus infection
skin infection
sprain or bone break
sore throat
urinary tract infection
vomiting

What to expect

Put your name on the wait list
When you use On My Way, you’ll be putting your name on a list of patients who need to be seen at a specific urgent care location. Unlike an appointment, the wait list is based on an estimated time. Your wait time may vary based on the number of patients and the severity of their care needs. This means if someone comes in after you with a more serious problem, they may be seen before you. When you arrive, the front desk staff will let you know your estimated wait time.

Walk ins are always welcome. You do not need to use On My Way to be seen at urgent care. We’ll always to our best to see you quickly!

Whether your walk in or use On My Way, your wait time will vary depending on the severity of your needs and the number of other patients at that urgent care location.

All major health plans are accepted. Your insurance provider will be able to tell you your copayment, what is and isn’t covered under your plan, and how much you will be responsible for paying out-of-pocket.
