Our urgent care wait times vary, and can change frequently. Wait times are refreshed every eight minutes and may fluctuate depending on patient volume and care needs.

Our priority is to provide excellent service and thorough care to every patient. To best serve you near closing time, please check in for more complex injuries or symptoms before 5 pm. This will allow us to assess and treat your issue.

For minor illnesses and injuries, please check in at least 1 hour prior to closure.

Sharp Rees-Stealy urgent care hours are subject to change. We may implement a temporary closure during regular operating hours in high patient-volume situations. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

During a temporary closure, we recommend you visit another Sharp Rees-Stealy urgent care or schedule a same-day virtual care appointment. Find other care options.
