Finding a Des Moines Walk In Clinic After Hours

It’s Friday evening and your child needs to see a physician, or it’s during normal office hours but your family doctor is booked. While it’s always recommended to see your primary care physician, there are times when medical attention is needed urgently – morning, evening, or weekend. The greater Des Moines area has a wealth of Walk-In and Urgent Care clinics. Keep this list handy for the next time when you or your family require urgent care.

NOTE: these clinics are not an alternative to the emergency room and can address non-life-threatening issues. Be sure to follow up as needed with your primary care provider for continued and ongoing care. Virtual visits are also available for most walk-in and urgent care providers.
