The doctors in the Sutter Health network Urgent Care centers are board-certified family medicine doctors, emergency room doctors or pediatricians. These doctors work closely with physician assistants, nurse practitioners and other urgent care staff members to treat people of all ages. Our urgent care teams have broad, comprehensive medical knowledge. Their goal is to provide convenient, quality care to help patients feel better quickly.

After an urgent care visit, our team will provide a treatment report to a primary care doctor or appropriate specialist. This collaboration helps keep that doctor informed of the treatment received.
