Downtown Urgent Care (DUC) opened its doors in early 2009, at The Truman Building in the heart of Saint Louis, at 916 Olive Street, 4 blocks south of the Dome  (Rams Football) and Americas Center, 4 blocks north of the Ballpark, (Cardinals Baseball) 4 blocks east of the Scottrade Center (Blues Hockey), and 7 blocks west of the Gateway Arch.

Serving the Downtown community and metropolitan Saint Louis' need for walk-in / urgent care, DUC was created with the aim of providing the highest quality urgent medical care in a professional, friendly and time-efficient manner. DUC works with patients' primary care physicians, specialists and the local emergency rooms to ensure patients receive top quality care and follow-up.

An increasing percentage of our patient visits are from returning patients and patient recommendations, which we hope is testament to the quality, convenience and affordability of the urgent care service we provide.

Preventive Medicine This is the cornerstone of our philosophy at Downtown Urgent Care. We strongly believe that if we do our best to keep you well, effectively to keep you away from the doctor as much as possible, then we will have succeeded in our objective to achieve, improve and maintain good health in our community. This is why we also offer fitness classes, dietary advice, and common-sense tips on lifestyle modifications to better control common conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes.

Simplicity Health care does not need to be complicated. Our fresh, no nonsense approach, will give you a new taste of how Medicine ought to be practised. Testing (lab, x-rays for example), Medications, and even billing should be done, only when necessary. We will provide an accurate diagnosis or refer you to someone who can. Even though we may not be your Internist, we will stay in contact with you, until your problem is resolved, or until we can hand you off to a specialist we trust. That's how we'd treat our own families. That's the litmus test on how we should treat ALL our patients.
