Urgent care centers are designed to treat those who need attention quickly but don't require an emergency room visit. Urgent care centers do not require appointments and are generally open longer hours than a primary care physician's office. For instance, MyDoc Urgent Care is open 7 days a week, 12 hours a day (8:00 AM – 8:00 PM).

Anyone. Urgent care is a solution for individuals of all ages. From infants with a cough to teenagers needing sports physicals, and adults with minor injuries. Whether you've lived in the area for years or are just visiting, our full medical team provides high-quality, compassionate care for everyone.

The average wait time for a primary care appointment can be over 20 days. While the ER is an option, the average visit lasts over 3 hours (212 minutes). At MyDoc Urgent Care, the average visit lasts less than one hour, providing a faster and more cost-effective alternative for non-life-threatening medical issues.

Urgent care is significantly more affordable than the Emergency Room. The average cost difference is approximately $373 per visit. Choosing urgent care for non-emergencies helps patients, insurers, and the healthcare system save billions of dollars annually.
