Urgent Care Wait Times
Pardee UNC Health Care now offers an online reservation system allowing you to wait where you feel most comfortable. Choose a convenient time online and we’ll reserve your spot at one of our Urgent Care locations. We will send you a email reminder before your reserved spot.
Wait times are estimates of the amount of time you may wait between registering at the front desk and being seen by a nurse to start your care.
*Please note: Patients are seen based on severity of condition, not based on arrival or reservation time.
Urgent Care
When you need prompt medical attention for an injury or illness that is not life-threatening and cannot wait for an appointment with your regular physician, Pardee Urgent Care locations are a great option for you and your family. They are not intended, however, for serious, life-threatening emergencies requiring the full services of a hospital. If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please visit the Pardee Emergency Department or call 911.
