About UCL
About Urgent Care Locations
UCL is dedicated to providing easy access to urgent care clinics and walk-in centers across the United States, so you can find the closest facility when you need it the most.
Our mission
Our mission at UCL is to make finding an urgent care near you a hassle-free task. Finding an immediate care or walk-in clinic nearby no longer means looking in the phone book or flipping through your physician's directory pamphlet. UCL fills your need to find an urgent care or quick care clinic in your city.
We list urgent care centers and walk-in clinics in cities across the United States. On a city page you can filter for clinics open now or open 24 hours, where their hours are on file. Urgent care centers treat non-emergency illness and injury on a walk-in basis; most do not need an appointment.
Listed medical clinics do not replace your primary care physician or a hospital's emergency department. Instead, they fill the gap between the two: care that can't wait for a doctor's appointment but isn't life-threatening. It's what we call “Right Care. Right Place. Right Time.”
Urgent care centers handle non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries, and many see children as well as adults. Many have on-site labs and X-ray, but not all of them do, so call the clinic before you go if you think you need an X-ray or a test. They can also handle follow-up care or refer you to a specialist.
For owners of urgent care centers
If you are the owner of an urgent care center or walk-in clinic, you can quickly register in our directory to be discovered by patients in your community.
