American Family Care is different from other urgent care clinics in that it offers additional on-site services such as x-rays and labs, shorter wait times and speedy visits with a highly trained and quality medical staff. Services offered range from illnesses, to adult care, to pediatric care, preventative care, lab tests, vaccinations, physical exams to treating injuries and accidents.

In addition American Family Care also offers Occupational Health Services for employers to include OSHA mandated surveillance exams, employee drug screening, blood alcohol tests, lift tests, Hepatitis B tests, Pulmonary Function tests and tuberculosis testing.   Every clinic is independently owned so some of these services may differ.

American Family Care expanded nationwide with the acquisition of Doctor’s Express, the country’s largest urgent care network, in 2013. With the same commitment to quality patient care and service, AFC’s footprint expanded with this acquisition.
