At our family clinic we focus on excellence, integrity, and quality health care!
Urgent Care
Excellent care is always close by at First Physicians for medical conditions that need prompt attention but aren’t life-threatening. While urgent care is provided at three of our locations including our Wendover, East and West Clinics, our East University location offers expanded hours so you and your family won’t have to wait in the emergency room. Our urgent care providers are available to offer the professional, personalized care you need.
Here is a list of conditions First Physicians urgent care treats:
- Sore throat/throat infections
- Ear pain/ear infections
- Bronchitis
- Pneumonia
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Asthma exacerbations
- Sprains and strains (ankles and knees for example)
- Minor lacerations (cuts) and puncture wounds
- Painful urination/urinary tract infections
- Back strain or pain
- Rashes
Symptoms that require care in an emergency room instead of urgent care are:

- Chest pain (sign of a heart attack)
- Sudden loss of vision (possible stroke or detached retina)
- Difficulty speaking, difficulty moving (paralysis), difficulty understanding speech, and confusion (all signs of a stroke)
