At AED Urgent Care, you can receive an annual physical exam without the need for a referral from your primary doctor. Our clinics offer convenient walk-in services, including extended morning, evening, and weekend hours, to accommodate your busy schedule.
Annual physical exams and wellness checks are available without the requirement of an appointment. These exams serve different purposes. An annual physical provides a comprehensive evaluation of your overall health, including medical assessments and laboratory tests. On the other hand, a wellness check is more focused on routine measurements such as blood pressure, weight, and addressing any specific concerns you may have. Both exams aim to assess your health status and determine if any adjustments are needed to achieve your health goals.
When visiting for your annual check-up, remember to bring any relevant medical records or a list of medications. During the examination, your doctor will review your medical history, assess your vital signs, conduct a physical examination of various body areas such as the chest, abdomen, neck, throat, heart, lungs, skin, and reflexes. They may also order laboratory work, update your vaccine status, recommend age-specific tests, and manage your prescriptions.
AED Urgent Care prioritizes providing comprehensive and convenient healthcare services, ensuring that you receive the necessary evaluations and recommendations to maintain your well-being.

Receiving a COVID-19 vaccine is the most effective and safest measure to prevent severe illness. Similar to other vaccines, the COVID-19 vaccine instructs your body on building its own defense against the virus responsible for this disease. Typically, the COVID-19 vaccine consists of two doses, with the second dose administered 14 to 28 days after the initial one. It takes approximately three weeks after the final dose to develop immunity. Access to COVID-19 vaccination is subject to availability and regulations set by your state. Please reach out to us for further information on obtaining a COVID-19 vaccine.
