Same-Day Care Options
It’s best to see your primary care doctor when you’re sick, but we understand that’s not always possible. That’s why we offer many convenient options when you need care that can’t wait for a regular visit with your primary care doctor. Check out the chart below to choose the best type of care for you.
If you’re experiencing a life-threatening condition, call 911 right away.

Low copays, expert care and less waiting
Going to the Emergency Room when you don’t have a life-threatening injury or illness often means long wait times and high copays. If it’s not an emergency, schedule a same-day appointment with a Henry Ford primary care provider and enjoy lower copays. Walk ins are welcome, but may wait longer for care than patients who have scheduled online.
