Getting In Quickly
Can We See You Today?
Our Grand Rapids office is open Monday through Thursday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. When you wake up not feeling well, call our office as early as you can. Same-day slots depend on availability, and calling first thing in the morning gives you the best shot at getting seen that day. You can also request an appointment online and note that you need to be seen today, and our team will follow up as quickly as possible to find you a time.
Know Where to Go
When to Go to the ER Instead
Not every urgent symptom belongs in a primary care office, and knowing the difference can save you time and worry. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room for chest pain, difficulty breathing, sudden weakness or slurred speech, severe bleeding, or a serious injury.
For symptoms like a sore throat, mild fever, minor cuts, urinary symptoms, seasonal allergies, or a nagging cough, a same-day visit with our team is usually the right call, and it's often faster and less expensive than an ER visit for the same concern.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take walk-ins for same-day care?
We don't offer true walk-in appointments, but we do our best to fit same-day patients into the schedule. Calling our office as early in the day as possible, or requesting an appointment online and flagging that you need to be seen today, gives you the best chance of getting in.
Will I see my usual provider for a same-day visit?
Not always. Depending on availability, you may see a different provider on our team for a same-day visit. Every provider at our Grand Rapids office has access to your full medical history, so your care stays consistent even if your usual provider isn't available that day.
What if my condition turns out to be more serious than I thought?
If your provider determines during your visit that you need a higher level of care, they'll help coordinate next steps, whether that's a referral, additional testing, or a recommendation to go to the emergency room. If your symptoms feel severe or life-threatening before your visit, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room right away.
