Urgent Care
Walk-In Clinic & Family Medicine in Knoxville, TN
An unexpected illness or injury can arise any time of day or night, often when you’re least prepared. Knowing where to turn can make a stressful situation easier to navigate, which is why Rose Cunningham, FNP, of South Knox Family Care offers urgent care services to residents of Knoxville, Tennessee. Walk-in visits are an option, and less urgent booking needs can be met online or by phone.
