The San Jose Medical Group Ambulatory Urgent Care (AUC) offers services, without an
appointment, when your physician is not available. The San Jose Medical Group AUC
handles urgent, non-emergency illnesses, which may eliminate the need for you to
face long waits at the hospital emergency room. Also, the cost of your co-pay may
be less at the AUC than at a hospital emergency room. The San Jose Medical Group AUC
is open 365 days a year from 8 a.m to 8 p.m.
