Busy patients will be pleased to know they can now make weekend appointments to be seen at PAMF’s Palo Alto Center Urgent Care Department. Patients can make same-day appointments for minor illnesses and injuries on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. by calling 650-853-2958. Walk-ins are still welcome.
“Our Urgent Care Department is sometimes busy with both simple and more complex medical problems,” says Richard Deslauriers, M.D., medical director of the Palo Alto Center’s Urgent Care Department. “By offering weekend appointments to adults for simple illnesses and injuries, we can provide our patients even better service by reducing the time a patient may have to wait and enabling them to schedule appointments when it is most convenient for them. Increasing patient satisfaction is one of our primary goals.”
The Palo Alto Center also has a Pediatric Urgent Care Department for children with urgent care needs. Many families with children are more satisfied when they have an appointment to address their medical needs; therefore, PAMF’s Pediatric Urgent Care has an appointment-based model of care. If you would like for your child to be seen in Pediatric Urgent Care, please call 650-853-6558, and your child will be scheduled for the next available appointment.
For patient convenience, PAMF Urgent Care Center wait times are available online. Additionally, free Internet wireless access is available PAMF locations for patients and visitors using their own computers with wireless connectivity.
