WE WANT TO BE YOUR FIRST CHOICE FOR ACUTE CARE NEEDS

At AIM's Acute Care Clinic (Suite 104), we are dedicated to being your top choice for your acute care needs. Our experienced team of Nurse Practitioners, who all have access to your medical history, is committed to delivering personalized care. We understand that health needs can arise unexpectedly, which is why we are proud to offer same-day or next-day in-office and virtual appointments for our established patients.** New patients must establish care with one of our primary care providers before utilizing the clinic.

We highly recommend scheduling appointments as they will be prioritized, however, we will do our utmost to accommodate walk-in visits whenever possible and the presenting condition is appropriate.* This is not a guarantee of an appointment.

Our Clinic is open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

* Our providers reserve the right to redirect care to an Urgent Care facility or Emergency Department

for cases that are too severe to treat in an office setting. 

**Patients must be present in the State of Maryland for virtual visits. Licensed providers can only 

treat patients in the state where they are licensed. There will be no exceptions to this policy.
