About This Location
Located on Northwest Highway in Edison Park, this urgent care clinic sits at Chicago's far northwest edge — a quiet, residential corner of the city that borders Norwood Park and sits just a few miles from O'Hare International Airport. Edison Park has a distinctly suburban character for a Chicago neighborhood, with single-family homes, a small-town feel along its commercial strip, and a population that includes many city employees, firefighters, and police officers who live out here by city residency rules. The clinic offers flu shots and COVID testing for the area's families and commuters, alongside DOT physicals for the commercial drivers who pass through or are stationed near the airport corridor. Lab tests are handled on-site, which matters in a neighborhood where the nearest hospital is not a short drive. It accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield and Cigna among its insurance partners, as well as Humana and Molina. With 76 reviews at 4.2 stars, the location has earned solid feedback from a neighborhood that typically has fewer urgent care choices nearby. Walk-ins are welcome every day of the week.
location_city About Edison Park
Edison Park is Chicago's far northwest neighborhood, a quiet enclave of bungalows and two-flats that feels more like a suburb than the dense urban grid found elsewhere in the city. This clinic is on Northwest Highway near the Metra UP-NW Edison Park station, one of the few transit-accessible points in the neighborhood. The area is home to many longtime Chicago residents, city workers, and families who value its low density. Urgent care access is especially relevant here given the distance from major hospital systems on the North Side.
