Questions for Dr. Stern

About Your Urgent Care Center

83. I wish to know if you are an urgent care consulting or a urgent care franchising body. I appreciated the insight I got from your article to start an urgent care business, and I would like to initiate a conversation based on understanding of your services offered.

We do perform consulting for urgent care startups through our sister company, National Med Network.

We do not yet offer franchising, but we hope to have this available by the end of the summer.

Our headquarters are about one hour west of Chicago O’Hare Airport. We offer full-day tours of our facilities (Physicians Immediate Care, Practice Velocity, and PV Billing), and over 300 urgent care professionals visited in 2007. We spend most of the day sitting down and taking your questions about all aspects of the startup.

We would be delighted to serve you. To schedule a demo or phone call or to schedule a tour of our headquarters, call 888-357-4209 and ask for Dana (ext. 2051).
