After Hours & Urgent Care

Know Where To Get Care

Phone Assistance for Established Patients

For urgent issues after hours, you can call your WakeMed Primary Care office (or our operators at 919-350-8000) and our on-call providers are available to offer advice. They are not able to prescribe or refill medications after hours.

Primary Care Partnership

Primary care providers are experts in diagnosing and treating conditions that require urgent care. Since we set aside office time each day for urgent care visits, we can meet urgent care needs quickly and get you or your family feeling better, so you can return to work, school or other obligations.

The benefits of choosing primary care as the first option include the fact that we understand your overall health. In addition, we have access to your full medical record, so we know your health history, drug allergies and what medications you are already taking. This positively impact the care we can deliver and streamlines the process.

Emergency Medicine Partnership

If at any time, you are suffering from a life-threatening emergency, call 911 immediately, and/or seek emergency care treatment at the nearest emergency department.

All of our primary care practices are conveniently located in or near Raleigh, NC, which means they are near one or more of WakeMed's many Emergency Departments. If you are having an emergency, we recommend going to your nearest emergency department.

Our Raleigh Campus also features a Children's Emergency Department, the first facility of its kind in North Carolina, dedicated to treating children.
