LAURINBURG — Scotland Urgent Care Center has added a service this week known as Urgent Care Online Check In or UC Express.

UC Express, which began on Tuesday, allows patients to visit scotlandhealth.org/uc-express to select an available time for an appointment at Scotland Urgent Care Center.

This allows patients to remain at home while waiting to be seen, rather than waiting in “a room full of sick people,” especially during busy hours, said Dr. Ronald Dupler, medical director of Scotland Urgent Care Center.

Patients will complete a short form and will then receive a confirmation e-mail about their reservation. Patients are asked to arrive a few minutes the appointment to finalize paperwork.

“The goals of Scotland Urgent Care Center are to provide high quality medical care to all our patients and to be the health care facility of choice for minor illness or injuries, ” Dupler said.

For information, contact Scotland Urgent Care Center at 910-277-8300.
