After-Hours Medical Care in Modesto — Available Evenings & Weekends
Expert Doctors When Your Regular Physician Isn't Available
It's 8 PM on a Tuesday evening, and your child develops a fever. It's Saturday morning, and you wake up with a severe sore throat. Your regular doctor's office is closed, and you're not sure if it's serious enough for the emergency room. This is exactly when Valley Urgent Care steps in - providing expert after-hours medical care in Modesto when you need it most.

Why Not Just Go to the Emergency Room?
The emergency room is designed for life-threatening emergencies. Here's why urgent care is often a better choice for after-hours care:
Cost - Emergency room visits can cost 2-3 times more than urgent care for the same condition. A simple infection treated at the ER might cost $500-1,000, while urgent care might be $150-250.
Wait Times - ERs are often overcrowded, with waits of 2-4 hours or more. Valley Urgent Care typically sees patients within 15-30 minutes.
Appropriate Setting - For non-emergencies, urgent care is the ideal setting. You'll be seen faster and treated in an environment focused on acute care, not trauma.
Continuity of Care - Our doctors can better follow up with your primary care physician to ensure coordinated care.
When to Choose Emergency Room Instead:
Seek emergency room care immediately if you experience:
Chest pain or pressure
Difficulty breathing
Severe allergic reactions
Signs of stroke (face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty)
Severe head injury
Uncontrollable bleeding
Suspected poisoning
What to Bring to Your After-Hours Visit:
Insurance card
Photo ID
List of current medications
Any relevant medical records
Payment method (if uninsured)
