Quality Medical Care
When a non-emergency illness or injury strikes outside of regular clinic hours or you can’t get an appointment when you need it, Urgent Care offers an alternative to long waits in metro hospital emergency rooms. Urgent Care offers high-quality immediate care faster and at a lower cost than a hospital emergency department.
No Appointment Necessary. Walk-ins Welcome – You Don't Need to be a Current Patient.
Urgent Care is staffed by providers experienced in emergency medicine and trauma stabilization. Their experience leads to timely diagnoses, and referral if needed. They treat most injuries and illnesses with no appointment needed. Adults and children (3+ months) are seen in our comfortable clinic location. The scope of service is greater than that of a retail minute clinic, but more cost-effective and timely than a visit to a hospital emergency department.
When To Seek Urgent Care
If you are ill or injured and your condition is not life threatening, Urgent Care is the right choice. Because we are staffed with experienced providers, we offer more services than your typical minute clinic and at a lower cost than an emergency department. Conditions commonly treated in Urgent Care settings include: minor accidents and falls, sprains, rashes, minor cuts, ear infections, eye infections, sinus infections, urinary tract infections, high fever, respiratory infections, cold, flu, migraines, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat or cough.

We will see kids 3 months old and older.

No. Urgent Care is open to anyone. You do not need to be a patient of Northfield Hospital + Clinics.
What health insurance plans do you accept?
Urgent Care accepts all major health plans.
Can I use Urgent Care for all my health care needs?
Urgent care is not meant to be a replacement for developing a relationship with a primary care provider. Chronic conditions are best treated by your primary care provider. If you do not have a clinic or provider, we would be happy to schedule an appointment with one of our health care providers. An urgent care center is a convenient option when illness or injury strikes outside of regular office hours, your regular provider is on vacation or unable to offer a timely appointment.
