About This Location
Carbon Health Urgent Care Oakland is part of Carbon Health — a tech-enabled national urgent care and primary care chain with 125+ clinics across the US, founded in 2015 by Eren Bali (formerly co-founder of Udemy) and headquartered in San Francisco. Carbon combines walk-in urgent care with a modern patient app (iOS/Android) for check-in, asynchronous chat with providers, video visits, and digital records accessible 24/7. The Carbon clinical model integrates urgent care, primary care, and specialty care (pediatrics, women's health, mental health, dermatology) under one roof, with most visits same-day or next-day. Services include strep/flu/COVID-19 testing with on-site rapid results, UTI evaluation, minor injury treatment with on-site digital X-ray and laceration repair, IV hydration, comprehensive in-house labs, DOT physicals, school/sports physicals, immigration exams, and routine adult and pediatric vaccinations. All visits sync to Carbon's proprietary EMR with full visibility through the patient app. Carbon is in-network with most major commercial insurance plans plus Medicare and select state Medicaid plans.
