Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a Sutter patient to be seen here?
No — Sutter Health's walk-in and urgent care clinics are open to the public, not just existing Sutter patients. Most major commercial insurance plans, Medicare, and many HMO products are accepted.
Will my visit be connected to my primary care doctor?
If your primary care physician is in the Sutter Health network (including PAMF, CPMC, or Alta Bates Summit), yes — your visit will be integrated into the shared My Health Online medical record, and your PCP will see the notes. For patients with PCPs outside Sutter, visit summaries are available for you to share with your own provider.
What services are available on-site?
Typical services include treatment for minor injuries, infections, respiratory illnesses, UTIs, and allergic reactions, plus on-site X-ray, lab testing, and IV fluids. For conditions requiring specialist care, Sutter has direct referral pathways into its full network.
How do I check wait times at Sutter Health - Palo Alto Medical Foundation Urgent Care?
Sutter Health's My Health Online patient portal and mobile app show real-time wait times at many locations and allow online check-in. Calling ahead is also effective for getting a sense of current volume.
