Why Choose Urgent Care? | AFC Urgent Care Fountain City- AFC Urgent Care

The team at AFC Urgent Care Fountain City is extremely excited to be helping members of our community when it comes to their medical needs. However, since we are new to the neighborhood, you might be wondering why we are the best choice when you need medical attention. Urgent Care vs. Emergency Room If your doctor’s office isn’t open, but you need to be seen by a physician, you have to go to the ER, right? Wrong! That’s where urgent care comes in. However, we aren’t only here for when your doctor’s office is closed. We’re also open during the day to be your place to turn when you need medical care in general, a wellness check before you’re able to participate in a sport, a DOT physical for a new job and much more! But do you know the best part about visiting our urgent care center? Less wait and lower cost while receiving high-quality care from a friendly and knowledgeable medical team. Our urgent care center strives to provide prompt medical care with no appointment necessary. If you or a loved one are experiencing a non-emergent medical condition, come see our caring team that’s ready to help meet your healthcare needs. We are open seven days a week to help diagnose and treat:

  • Allergies
  • Bladder infections
  • Bronchitis
  • Colds
  • Cuts/minor lacerations
  • Diarrhea
  • Ear infections
  • Ear wax removal
  • Eye infections/styes
