American Family Care - Nashville South TN

American Family Care - Nashville South TN

Urgent Care Clinic
5826 Nolensville Pk, Nashville, TN
It is our mission to provide the best healthcare possible in a kind and caring environment while respecting the rights of all patients, in an economical manner, at times and locations convenient to the patient. Dr. Bruce Irwin opened the first American Family Care® in 1982, making it the first urgent care, family care, and primary care practice in Birmingham, Alabama. As a child, Dr. Irwin frequently watched doctors attend to his father’s medical needs. During frequent trips to the emergency room, Dr. Irwin noticed that many non-emergency patients were taking up time and resources from the ER, making the experience more difficult for themselves and those in need of true life-saving care. It was during this time he came up with his idea for an urgent care network that could attend to the needs of non-emergency patients who were in need of immediate attention. From the outset, Dr. Irwin held to the philosophy of “putting the patient first,” an attitude that quickly made AFC one of the most successful urgent care clinics in the area. More than 35 years later, the AFC brand and philosophy have spread to more than 200 facilities across 26 states, treating nearly three million patients a year. We are proud to stand as one of the most widely-known and admired brands in healthcare and anticipate having more than 500 clinics nationwide in the next five years. All AFC clinics are designed, equipped, and staffed to provide accessible primary care, urgent care, minor emergency treatment, and occupational medicine. We are considered pioneers in non-emergency room urgent care, with a majority of our patients coming in, receiving care, and returning home in one hour’s time on average. Across the country, AFC is growing. In fact, we’ve been ranked by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S.

. I booked through Zocdoc because it said my insurance was accepted. I filled out my insurance info when booking and again at check-in. Drove 18 miles while feeling sick, waited over 30 minutes, and only after asking why I hadn’t been called did they tell me they don’t take my insurance. That should have been caught up front, not after wasting my time and energy while sick. This was incredibly frustrating and avoidable. The office didn’t even offer any kind of discount rate after putting me through this uncomfortable ordeal.
