UCSF Health’s urgent care team provides evaluation and treatment for medical problems that need prompt attention but are not life-threatening. We offer same-day and next-day appointments for adults 18 and older. For patients under 18, we offer pediatric urgent care at multiple locations.
UCSF Health Community Medical Group providers are also available every day, including evenings, weekends and holidays at UCSF Health-GoHealth Urgent Care locations.
For information on scheduling a same-day appointment, see our urgent care clinics listed below. We ask that you arrive 20 minutes before your appointment time for check-in and initial evaluation.
We have on-site imaging, electrocardiography (EKG) and blood testing services. Whether you're dealing with a sprained ankle, a sinus infection or another pressing problem, our team's goal is to deliver the care you need quickly.
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.

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.
