Express Care is a convenient walk-in option for wellness services and non-urgent health care needs when you cannot wait to see your primary care provider. Our clinics are staffed by experienced, board-certified nurse practitioners and/or physician assistants.

Please do not schedule an Express Care appointment for emergency health issues. For serious issues or emergencies, visit your closest Urgent Care clinic or Emergency Room.

Please call 9-1-1 if you are in a life-threatening situation.

You may walk into any of our Express Care Clinics at your convenience. If you have scheduling constraints, we strongly recommend reserving your spot in line by providing your information below. We’ll send you helpful updates and reminders via text message.

If you are a new patient at UC San Diego Health, please register in advance by calling 1-800-926-8273 before your saved appointment slot. We will ask you to provide your insurance information.

Please note that the current walk-in wait time displayed on this page is an estimate only and may change on relatively short notice depending on patient demand and condition. With the current COVID 19 resurgence in San Diego County, we are experiencing considerably more patient demand and apologize in advance for extended wait times. We thank you for your understanding as we work to ensure every patient receives exceptional care.

Asymptomatic UCSD employee COVID testing is not offered in Express Care. You may self-schedule your testing at a drive-up or testing center.

Express Care is closed on 11/25-26, 12/23-25 and 12/30-1/1. We appreciate your understanding.

 But first, please make sure you don't need to call 911.
