Not sure if you need urgent care? Call us first.

Most medical needs can be best cared for by your primary care provider. Your care team knows your health history and will be able to provide the most thorough care for most non-life-threatening conditions and injuries.

Our Martin’s Point Health Care Centers often offer same-day appointments for patients who need to be seen promptly—call your PCP’s office for guidance and scheduling. If needed and/or a timely appointment is not available, your PCP might direct you to urgent care for prompt attention.
