Need Urgent Care?

Grab a towel... and don't panic.

In Austin, Texas, it's tough to find quality, affordable care - much less if you're uninsured. For many, the need to visit the doctor arises quickly and unceremoniously. You have no time to prepare, and you need to see someone now. I'd like to offer some options so that you aren't thrown into limbo.

People's Community Clinic

Consider becoming a patient prior to any urgent care needs. They service the uninsured. 512-478-4939

Seton-Topfer

Located just north of 183 between Lamar and Burnet, this clinic has a co-pay that is determined by your income. Call to inquire about your eligibility with their program.

Volunteer Healthcare Clinic

Located just south of 45th and Burnet on Medical Parkway, this clinic offers walk-ins on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

NextCare and ProMed

Both programs provide a list of locations. Each supports 3 locations in the Austin area. Expect to spend about $70 for the consultation.
