HEALTHCARE EVOLVED

Innovative Care is a medical group that uniquely brings primary care, urgent care and behavioral health together to serve our patients better. 

Here, you can walk-in for a sudden illness or injury seven days a week. You can also make Innovative your home for ongoing primary care needs, or see one of the therapists on our behavioral health team.  

Our urgent care, primary care and behavioral health teams work together to provide coordinated care for our patients. That’s Innovative. We call it Healthcare Evolved.

Bringing Innovation to Urgent Care

Our experienced urgent care healthcare providers are fast, friendly, and can get you the help you need efficiently. Got a cut that needs sutures? We can do that. Maybe a little state-of-the-art surgical glue on that cut instead? Ooh, now we’re talking. Oh, and by the way: you can make an appointment if you’d like (online, by phone, or even by fax), but appointments are never required, and our wait times are often less than 30 minutes per patient. (That’s the “Express” part). Our clinic provides the urgent care you need in a timely manner and at an affordable cost. Don’t want to come in? Try telemedicine!

OUR
STORY

Innovative Care was born from a vision to create a better healthcare experience. I wanted to create a place where patients could receive high-quality care that is both convenient and affordable.

In 2015, my vision became a reality and Innovative Express Care was born. What started as a single urgent care is now a group of medical practices that meets the modern-day needs of patients.

One clinic for your primary care, urgent care, and behavioral health needs. Welcome to Innovative Care. Healthcare Evolved.
