When we opened the doors of Valley Urgent Care just 50 days ago at 4213 Dale Road in Modesto, we had a vision: to provide accessible, compassionate, high-quality urgent care to our Central Valley community—from Modesto and Salida to all the surrounding areas. Today, as we approach our 50th Google review—nearly all of them five stars—we're humbled by the trust and support our neighbors have shown us.

At Valley Urgent Care, we often meet Modesto residents who wonder about the difference between urgent care visits and regular health checkups with a primary care physician. While we're here to provide immediate care when you need it most, we also want to emphasize that urgent care should complement—not replace—routine preventive healthcare.
