  • What Is the Difference Between an Urgent Care and an ER?

    Sterling Heights Urgent Care is not an emergency room. In case of an emergency, please go to the nearest hospital.

  • Do I Need To Make an Appointment?

    No appointments needed. Sterling Heights Urgent Care is open from 10AM until 10PM daily for your convenience. You may simply walk in to see a board-certified physician; however, if you prefer to make an appointment, we will gladly do so.

  • How Long Is the Wait?

    Depends. Most patients are seen within minutes of walking in since we are fully staffed to treat your illness or injury.
