Lackawanna's Nearby Alternative to the ER
A twisted ankle or a sudden fever isn't worth an afternoon lost in an emergency room. AFC Urgent Care gives Lackawanna residents a faster, more affordable path to getting treated, without the hours-long wait that comes with a hospital visit for something that isn't actually life-threatening.
Patients from Lackawanna's waterfront district, the Ridge Road corridor, and neighborhoods throughout the city have found their way to this clinic for exactly that reason: real care, minus the runaround.
A lot of urgent care visits feel transactional, in and out, barely a word exchanged with the provider. That's not the experience we've built. Every person who walks through our doors gets a real conversation about what's going on, what the treatment plan looks like, and what to expect once they leave. A Lackawanna steelworker coming off a shift with a hand injury gets the same level of care as a retiree managing a persistent cough. Most major insurance plans are accepted, and self-pay patients are given clear pricing upfront, long before any treatment begins, so nothing shows up as a surprise later.

Shift workers, students, and busy families across Lackawanna need a clinic that respects their time. We've structured our check-in process so patients aren't stuck sitting around, getting people from the front desk to treatment without unnecessary delays.
There's no need to call ahead or wait for an opening. AFC Urgent Care sees walk-ins seven days a week, and for patients who'd rather line up a set arrival time, reserving a check-in slot online takes just a minute.
Extended weekday hours plus full weekend coverage mean Lackawanna residents aren't left waiting until the next business day for care that can't sit that long.
Visit us at 3346 Southwestern Blvd whenever an illness or injury needs attention sooner rather than later.
