Care for sudden illness

Fevers, infections, and unexpected symptoms.

Fevers, infections, and unexpected symptoms shouldn’t wait for a primary-care appointment. Walk in to 1st Choice Urgent Care any day from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

Testing under one roof

Digital X-rays and in-house rapid tests are available on-site, so most visits are handled in a single stop. Our in-house rapid tests:

  • Flu
  • COVID-19
  • Urine
  • Rapid strep

Can’t come in?

Ask about telemedicine: see a provider from home for many everyday illnesses, follow-ups, and medication questions.

Before you come in

  • Walk in any day, 8:00 AM – 9:00 PM. No appointment needed.
  • Have your ID and insurance card ready to speed up check-in.
  • Calling ahead helps us prepare for your arrival, but it is never required.

For life-threatening emergencies, call 911.

What to expect

A visit in three steps

Most visits are handled in a single stop, under one roof.

Walk in or call ahead

No appointment needed, any day from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Calling first lets us prepare for your arrival.

02

Same-day evaluation

Diagnostics like X-rays and rapid tests happen on-site, so you aren’t sent across town mid-visit.

03

Treatment & aftercare

You leave with a treatment plan, any prescriptions you need, and clear instructions for home.
