Urgent Care

When you need to be seen now for a non-emergent need, Northwestern Urgent Care offers access to exceptional care at our St. Albans and Georgia locations during evening hours, on weekends, and when your primary care provider is not available.

If you’re having chest or abdominal pain, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

NOTE ABOUT GEORGIA X-RAY Services: Walk-in X-Ray services are available from on weekdays, 8:30 am to 5 pm at our Georgia clinic. X-Ray services are not available in Georgia on Saturdays. 

Reserving your spot in line:

Patients can reserve a spot online or walk in without reserving a spot for treatment. Those with reserved times are prioritized over walk-ins. Patients with very severe symptoms may be prioritized over everyone.

Remember!

If no time slots are available, you can still visit Urgent Care! Please walk in and we’ll treat you as soon as possible.

Please read before reserving your spot:

  • Reserving a spot IS NOT an appointment. Patients will be seen as close to their reserved time as possible.
  • Arriving early for a time slot doesn’t mean you’ll be seen sooner. Arriving late for your reserved time means you may be treated as a walk-in.
  • Reserving a spot allows you to wait at home or in your car until your time slot.
  • Whether you walk in or reserve a spot, all patients must check in at the registration desk before being seen.
  • During busy times or depending on the type of treatment needed, wait times may be longer than usual.

How to reserve your spot in line:

  1. Choose which Urgent Care location to visit based on your preference.
  2. Reserve your spot in line using the “reserve your spot in line” link.
  3. After you confirm your selection, you’ll receive a confirmation text to the mobile phone number you provided. We’ll also send text message alerts to the phone you listed, reminding you of your time slot and notifying you of any changes.
  4. Arrive at Urgent Care a few minutes before your time slot so you can register for the visit.

Find yourself using Urgent Care often? Still haven’t had time to establish a Primary Care Provider?

Primary Care—First line of defense
Your Primary Care Provider or Pediatrician is your go-to provider for anything non-life threatening. By joining a primary care office you will have a team dedicated to your health. Generally, there is a lower co-pay for primary care visits and an ongoing provider-patient relationship leads to better care. Plus, time-sensitive visits are available for more pressing concerns.

Urgent Care—Just can’t wait
Feel you or your family member need to be seen now? Visit our walk-in urgent care clinics. We have evening and weekend hours. No appointment needed.
