Get the care you need
Depending on your needs, the best choice for you may be:
- Your primary care provider (PCP) for routine, day-to-day healthcare, such as a physical exam, diagnosis and treatment of a minor illness or injury, or help to manage a long-term (chronic) health condition. Find a PCP or search for your doctor’s office and contact information
- MoGo Urgent Care nearest you if you don’t have a PCP, your PCP isn’t available, or you need same-day attention for a minor illness or injury. View the list of symptoms and conditions your MoGo team is able to diagnose and treat, and learn what to expect during your visit
- Virtually, in the comfort of your own home, using your smartphone, computer, or tablet during an eVisit available 24/7. If you’re a Montage Medical Group patient, you can take advantage of a video visit with your doctor when you need routine care
