Urgent Care Centers

Injuries and illness don't always happen weekdays between 9 and 5. You can avoid a long wait in a crowded hospital emergency room if the illness or injury isn't too severe. Our four Urgent Care Centers are open seven days a week, including holidays. And, they're located within John Muir Health doctor's offices so you can count on high-quality, compassionate care at whichever center you visit.

Not sure what kind of care your child needs? We’re here for you around-the-clock. For after hours care, call our Pediatric Advice Nurses at (925) 296-9001 to get guidance on the right care for your child. Learn more about our Children’s After Hours Care Services.

When To Visit Our Urgent Care Centers

The seriousness and nature of your illness or injury determines where you should seek care. At John Muir Health Urgent Care Centers, we offer care for many urgent, non-life threatening medical symptoms.

If you are concerned that your condition may be an emergency, please call your personal physician, 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Visit an urgent care center if you have mild to moderate symptoms such as:

• Joint and muscle pain
• Rash
• Abdominal pain (mild to moderate)
• Urination concerns
• Headache (mild to moderate)

• Minor cuts
• Ear pain
• Sore throat and sinus pain
• Cough and fever

Go directly to an emergency room if you have severe conditions such as:

• Difficulty breathing
• Unconsciousness
• Severe bleeding
• Poisoning or suspected poisoning
• Chest pain or pressure

• Moderate to severe burns
• Convulsions or seizures
• Serious head, neck, or back injury
• Loss of limb or obvious broken bone
• Severe abdominal pain (fever or vomiting)

Make an appointment with your primary care doctor for conditions such as:

• Chronic pain
• Chronic disease management
• Physicals
