A new state-of-the-art urgent care facility has opened in Morton Grove as American Family Care (AFC), the nation’s largest provider of urgent care and accessible primary care, expands its footprint with just the second Chicagoland location.

“We’re thrilled to have the chance of helping so many people in our community,” said Sanjay Patel, M.D., who brings 22 years of practicing medicine to his role as one of two medical directors of AFC Morton Grove. “Urgent care is becoming more and more popular because of its convenience and cost, along with the benefits of treating patients right away. Our main priority is providing the best and most qualified medical staff in the area.”

AFC Morton Grove opened May 11 in the Sawmill Station shopping center on Dempster Street, as Dr. Patel and Dr. Anand Thakkar oversee a staff that includes a physician, a nurse practitioner, and medical assistants. That location features five exam rooms, x-ray capabilities, and more.
