About This Location
At 6500 W 65th Street in Garfield Ridge, this Concentra clinic opens earlier than nearly any other urgent care location in Chicago — doors open at 6:00 AM on weekdays. That early start is intentional: Garfield Ridge sits near Midway Airport and the industrial belt running along the Southwest Side, where many workers begin shifts well before dawn. The clinic's core focus is occupational medicine, with drug testing and DOT physicals as primary offerings alongside X-ray and general lab services. Workers Compensation cases are accepted, making this clinic a practical partner for employers managing job-related injuries in the logistics, transportation, and manufacturing sectors near the airport. It accepts Aetna and United Healthcare for standard urgent care visits. Saturday hours run 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and the clinic is closed Sundays — keep that in mind for weekend needs. With 42 reviews at 3.8 stars, this is a smaller, newer location still accumulating patient feedback. For airport-area workers and Southwest Side employers, the 6:00 AM opening and occupational health focus make this a uniquely useful resource. Walk-ins welcome Monday through Saturday.
