With the convenience of online check-in at UnityPoint Clinic Urgent Care and UnityPoint Clinic - Express, you can find the relief you need at a time that's best for you. After submitting the secure online form, you will receive a confirmation text message about your upcoming visit.
Please note: A given time is not a set appointment and you may have to wait after your projected time. Wait times are an estimated calculation based off the number of individuals currently waiting in the clinic and the number of individuals who are scheduled to arrive. Your estimated wait time is subject to change - new patients arrive frequently and have different medical needs. Because these are estimates, your personal experience may vary.
What Type of Appointment Do I Need?
Primary Care encompasses the comprehensive treatment of a number of diseases in symptoms and specialties including pediatrics, internal medicine and family medicine.

Examples of symptoms and conditions treated by a primary care provider can include:
- Minor medical problems and injuries
- Physicals/Sports Physicals
- Medicine Checks
- Long Term Care
- Medication Refill
- Ongoing Symptoms (ex: Continued Back Pain)
- Care or Treatment Planning
- Disease Management
- Managing Existing Conditions (Migraines, Depression, Anxiety, Arthritis, etc.)
- Substance Abuse
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes and obesity
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Skin problems
