Getting in to see a doctor when you are sick is not always easy because many doctors have a full patient load. Doctors Express makes it such that patients who need medical attention are able to receive it without delay. The Urgent Care center is a part of the Doctors Express network that has gone national. The goal of the center and of the physicians who work there is to provide Seattle residents with a technologically advanced state-of-the-art care center. This center is for those who have non-threatening health conditions such as colds and coughs, back pain, bites and rashes, upset stomach, heartburn, vomiting, eye infections etc. Urgent Care can be thought of as the bridge between your primary care physician and a trip to the emergency room. 

Doctors Express offers care to patients that is affordable, effective and fast. You will not be sitting for hours and hours getting sicker as you wait to see a doctor. Immediate medical attention is what you should expect when you walk through the doors of the care center and that is what you will receive! 

For a little background on Doctors Express, it is a group of medical facilities that offer urgent care. Urgent Care developed out of a response to a need for more doctors to care for patients in an environment that is clean, safe, comfortable and convenient. Doctors Express was founded in the year 2005 and has been extremely popular and successful from day one. 

The average wait time at this care center is 15 to 25 minutes (and in some cases less). The total bill for visits in most cases will equal less than one-third of what you would pay if you were to visit the emergency room for treatment.
