Two ways to be seen today

Pick whatever works best for how you feel.

Virtual visit

See a provider by video from home. No driving, no waiting room, and no spreading germs. Available to anyone located in Texas at the time of the visit. If you need medication, we send it straight to your pharmacy.

In-person visit

Come in to one of our 5 clinics in North Austin, Round Rock, Leander, Pflugerville or Kyle. Best when you need an exam or a quick test, like a flu, strep or COVID swab.

Common illnesses we treat same day

Many everyday illnesses can be handled in a virtual visit. If your provider needs to examine you or run a test, we'll get you in to a clinic.

Cold, flu & COVID

Fever, cough, congestion, sore throat and body aches. Often treatable by video.

Sinus infections

Facial pain, pressure and congestion that won't clear up. Often treatable by video.

UTIs

Burning, urgency or frequent urination. Often treatable by video.

Pink eye & allergies

Red, itchy or watery eyes, sneezing and seasonal allergy flares. Often treatable by video.

Rashes & skin

New rashes, bites, hives and minor skin infections. Often treatable by video.

Why see your primary care team instead of urgent care?

When you're sick, the team that already knows you is usually the better choice.

Often costs less

Many insurance plans have a lower copay for a primary care visit than for urgent care.

Your history on file

Your provider can see your medications, allergies and conditions, so treatment fits you.

Follow-up built in

If you're not better in a few days, we already know your case and can adjust your treatment.

One medical home

Sick visits, physicals and chronic care all in one place, in person or online.

When to go to the ER instead

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room for chest pain or pressure, trouble breathing, signs of a stroke (face drooping, arm weakness, slurred speech), severe bleeding, fainting, a seizure, or a high fever in a baby under 3 months. Same-day sick visits are for illnesses that aren't emergencies.

When to go to the ER instead

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room for chest pain or pressure, trouble breathing, signs of a stroke (face drooping, arm weakness, slurred speech), severe bleeding or a deep wound that won't stop bleeding, fainting, a seizure, or a high fever in a baby under 3 months.

    We treat patients 18yo and older.

  • State ID
  • Insurance card (if you have insurance)
  • Method of Payment
  • Previous records or prescription bottles are helpful for new visits

For new patients please make sure to complete your new patient paperwork online prior to your appointment. If you are unable to do so, please arrive 15 minutes early to allow you time to fill out all required paperwork.

If you are a new patient please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment start time. This will allow you time to complete the paperwork and check in process in a timely manner.

All established patients should arrive 10 minutes prior to the scheduled appointment start time. This will allow adequate time to complete the check-in and payment process.

We make every effort to run on schedule and respect our patient’s time and this is largely determined by everyone making an effort to arrive early to their appointments.

Any patient who shows up more than 15 minutes past their alloted time is subject to rescheduling the visit.

Please remember that scheduling an appointment involves reservation of your provider’s time specifically for you. If you fail to cancel or change an appointment 24 hours in advance, we cannot provide services for other patients who would like to be seen, often times, same day for urgent matters.

Patients who provide late cancellation or fail to show up for 2 or more appointments at any time during the course of treatment will be discharged from the practice. This is because it is difficult to provide quality care to patients who consistently miss and/or cancel their appointments.
