Bayfront Urgent Care

The UCSF Bayfront Urgent Care Clinic, which opened in August 2024, provides evaluations and treatment for urgent, non-life-threatening medical problems. Our clinic offers same-day appointments for adults age 18 and older.

To make a same-day appointment, call us at (415) 353-9188. You can also schedule an appointment online up to 24 hours in advance. We ask that you arrive 20 minutes before your appointment for check-in and initial evaluation. We also accept walk-in patients, but wait times can vary, so we recommend scheduling an appointment.

Bayfront Urgent Care features doctors trained in both family medicine and emergency medicine. The location includes on-site X-ray, ultrasound and blood testing services; an outpatient surgery center; and access to a wide range of specialists.

If you think you might be experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Our emergency department is open 24 hours every day.

Insurance and self-pay

Insurance coverage: Before your appointment, please contact your insurance carrier to verify that UCSF is an in-network provider for your plan. Your insurer can also tell you whether your plan requires that you reach an annual deductible before it pays for your visits.

Self-pay visits: If you're unable to obtain a referral or authorization for your appointment, or if you choose to pay for your visit yourself, you will need to make a deposit at the time of your appointment. This is a deposit only and doesn't include fees for any tests or procedures. You'll receive a bill in the mail for the amount owed for your visit and services received.
