Frequently Asked Questions
I have an urgent medical concern that I would like to be seen for today. Can I walk in and be seen?
At Aspire Family Medicine, we set aside appointments every day for urgent medical concerns. We do recommend that you call our office as soon as we open in the morning to schedule an urgent medical care visit. These appointments do fill up quickly.
We do our best to try to accommodate walk-ins, but we do see scheduled patients first so to avoid a wait, please call us if you need to be seen right away. Please note that same-day urgent medical care appointment slots may not be available on our online appointment system, so we do recommend you call us to schedule one of these appointments.

If it is after hours or a weekend when your office is not open and I have an urgent medical concern, what do I do?
We would recommend that you contact your medical insurance carrier and find an in-network urgent care in your area to consult with. In many cases, urgent care is much more economical than going to an emergency room for urgent medical concerns.
When should I go to an emergency room or an emergency department?
If you believe you are having an emergency, you should call 9-1-1 immediately. Symptoms or conditions that should be evaluated in an emergency department include unexplained chest pain, abrupt-onset shortness of breath, uncontrolled bleeding, life-threatening injury, new-onset slurred speech or weakness, fever with rash, or neck stiffness, to name a few. This is certainly not intended to be a complete list of reasons to go to an emergency department. If you are not sure if you should go to an emergency department, you should call your primary care provider on-call physician and seek medical advice if it is after hours.
