Appointment or Walk-in

If you want to visit UHS, we recommend that you first call our Appointment Scheduling Office at 734-764-8325 for advice about the best way to visit. You may be able to make a same-day appointment. Also, some services are available by appointment only (no walk-ins). 

UHS offers two options for seeing a clinician.

1) Make an appointment whenever possible.  Same-day appointments are frequently available. Advantages include:

  • Reducing your wait time at UHS
  • Seeing the clinician of your choice
  • Scheduling a visit at a time that is convenient for you
  • Seeing the same clinician you've seen before for a problem (continuity of care)

For appointments, call:

  • Appointment Scheduling for most appointments (including Gynecology) 734-764-8325
  • Physical Therapy (available only with written referral from a UHS clinician or Michigan physician) 734-764-8349
  • TTY (for the hearing or speech-impaired) 734-647-9717

2) Walk-in without an appointment during Building Hours for conditions that need to be treated as soon as possible. Check in at the reception desk in the main lobby. The first available clinician will see you as soon as possible. Wait time can vary. Patients with pre-arranged appointments may be seen before you, even if you have been waiting longer. Remember, when you make an appointment, your wait time in the building will be reduced.

UHS now has wi-fi, so you may wish to bring your computer to make any wait time more productive and fun.

For advice:

  • During open hours, you may call your Clinician or Nurse Advice Line at 734-763-4511. For gynecological concerns, call the Gynecology Clinic at 734-763-9184.
  • When UHS is closed: If your situation is not life threatening but you have an urgent health care concern that cannot wait until UHS opens, call our answering service at 734-662-5674.
