In-Person Urgent Care Centers in Chicago
When you need to see a healthcare provider face-to-face, our urgent care centers in Chicago are equipped to provide comprehensive medical evaluations. At each location, you will be seen by either a physician or an advanced practice provider, ensuring you receive expert medical attention for your immediate health concerns. Our centers are designed for walk-in appointments, making access to urgent care seamless and stress-free. This immediate access is invaluable when dealing with sudden illnesses or injuries that require prompt attention but are not severe enough for an emergency room visit.
Virtual Urgent Care Visits in Chicago
For situations where an in-person visit is not feasible or necessary, Northwestern Medicine offers virtual visits. This service allows you to consult with an Immediate Care physician or advanced practice provider remotely, from the comfort of your home or any location within Illinois. Virtual visits are available for patients aged 5 years and older and provide a convenient alternative for assessing and treating various medical conditions. You can even schedule a virtual visit in advance, particularly useful when our Immediate Care Centers are closed, ensuring continuous access to medical advice and care. Please note, patients must be physically located in Illinois during their virtual consultation to comply with healthcare regulations.
