Screening & Acute Care Clinic
The UCSF Screening & Acute Care Clinic provides evaluation and treatment for urgent, non-life-threatening medical problems. Our clinic offers same-day appointments for adults 18 and older.
To make a same-day appointment, call us at (415) 353-2602. Our capacity is limited, so please call at 8 a.m. on the day you'd like to be seen. We ask that you arrive 20 minutes before your appointment for check-in and initial evaluation.
We have on-site X-ray, ultrasound, electrocardiogram and blood testing services. Whether you're dealing with a sprained ankle or a sinus infection, our team will help you get the care you need quickly.
If you think you might be experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Our emergency department is open 24 hours every day.
