Our family physicians also medically manage stable ADHD patients.

After Hours

If you have an urgent need, we encourage you to call the 24/7 nurse line (573-882-7481) for advice about how to care for an illness or injury at home or to receive guidance about whether and how soon you should see a health care provider.

The MU Health Care symptom checker is an excellent resource for helping you determine the best level of care for your condition.

For an urgent, non-life-threatening situation, check your insurance plan to find out which urgent care or quick care facility will be covered.
