Are you open on holidays?

Holiday hours can differ from our regular schedule. If you need care on a major holiday, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year’s Day, call (571) 656-8838 before you come in to confirm we’re open.

Walk in or check in online?

You can do either.

  • Walk in: Come in any time during open hours. You’ll be added to the line when you arrive.
  • Check in online: Reserve your place in line before you leave home. It works like a waitlist. You’ll get real-time updates on your estimated wait, so you can wait at home instead of in the lobby.

To save more time, fill out our registration form in advance. Our new patient guide explains what we need from you.

How long is the wait at urgent care?

Wait times change throughout the day. They depend on how many people come in and how sick they are. Like every urgent care, we treat the most serious cases first. So someone with trouble breathing may be seen before someone with a minor rash, even if they arrived later.

Online check-in is the best way to see your estimated wait in real time.

When is the best time to go to urgent care?

Across urgent care clinics in general, these patterns are common:

  • Quieter: Mid-morning and early afternoon on weekdays
  • Busier: Evenings after work and school, Mondays, and weekends when primary care offices are closed
  • Busiest season: Flu and cold season, usually from late fall through early spring

If your problem can wait an hour or two, checking in online and coming at a quieter time usually means a shorter visit. If you feel worse, don’t wait. Come in, or go to the ER if it’s an emergency.

What if it’s after 8 PM?

  • Emergency: Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room for chest pain, stroke signs, severe trouble breathing, heavy bleeding or loss of consciousness.
  • Not an emergency: Check in online the next morning, or ask about a telemedicine visit for problems that can be handled by video.

What to bring to make your visit faster

  • Photo ID
  • Your insurance card. See the insurance plans we accept.
  • A list of current medications, allergies and recent illnesses
  • A credit, debit or HSA card. We keep a card on file for co-pays and any remaining balance.
  • For children: a parent or legal guardian, plus any forms for school or sports
