Patients are typically seen within 15-30 minutes of arrival, and visits can take as little as 30 minutes depending on symptoms and diagnosis. Most patients can complete their visit within an hour.

Since urgent care patients can walk-in to be seen at any time, occasionally patients may experience longer than the typical wait times, especially during the peak morning hours of 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m., and early evening hours of 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., or weekends when most primary care offices are closed. For your convenience, we offer advance check-in at www.circle-health.org/urgentcare and make every effort to staff our clinics appropriately to keep wait times to a minimum.

Our care team includes board-certified emergency and family practice physicians, as well as experienced physician assistants and nurse practitioners.

Backed by Lowell General Hospital and Circle Health, our care team ensures proper follow up with your primary care physician, as well as coordinating access to specialists if needed. It’s our promise of Complete connected care.
