Services may include:

  • On-site diagnostic testing and imaging
  • Wound care and minor procedures
  • Prescriptions and medication management
  • Coordination with your primary care provider for ongoing follow-up

Timely treatment helps you recover more quickly and prevents minor concerns from becoming more serious.

Same-Day Care FAQ
Family First Medical Center is more than just a family practice in Idaho Falls.  We also provide same-day treatment for the Idaho Falls area by offering same-day appointments and walk-ins. From bumps, bruises, coughs, stitches, or even broken bones, Family First Medical Center is here to help your entire family when they need it most.

Our roots as a family practice make our same-day treatment services unlike any other in Idaho Falls. When our patients need a same-day visit, they know they’ll be greeted by name and treated by a doctor who knows them. We already have our patients’ complete medical history, so there is no need for them to spend time filling out paperwork. Instead, we can focus on providing patients the care they need, so they can quickly get back home to their families.

Family First Medical Center is one of the only family practices in Idaho Falls that has an X-ray machine with digital results. Our patients often see the imaging results during their appointment or right after. This allows our patients to skip the need for referrals to a hospital or imaging center, thus saving them time and money.

A traditional urgent care facility doesn't usually involve follow-up appointments or coordinating with your primary physician, but we like to do things differently here at Family First Medical Center. You can count on us to send any needed referrals out the same day. If you need a physical therapy referral, we can walk you down the hall to our in-house physical therapy facility. With so many benefits under one roof, Family First Medical Center takes urgent care to a whole new level.
