24/7 Hotline Ready to Help
If you’re not sure what kind of care you need, please call our 24/7 hotline. We can:

  • Answer your questions
  • Connect you with an on-call doctor or other medical personnel
  • Send you a paramedic and ambulance when needed

Instant Communication Between Paramedics and Doctors

  • If you need an ambulance, our contracted paramedics can help you decide if you need to go to an Urgent Care or the emergency room.
  • Our on-call doctors can advise the paramedics, while at your home, as to whether we should take you to the urgent care or the hospital.

Leon offers more services to members than most urgent care centers, such as infusions and intubations, and life-saving equipment is always on hand for use if needed. Even though we work to treat you quickly, you’ll get the same respect, kindness and family-like feeling you experience with all Leon services offered.

Immediate Access to Your Records — and Your Doctor
Leon Urgent Care has full access to your medical records containing all your medical history including medications you are taking and any allergies you may have. You get faster, more efficient care because we don’t have to wait for answers.

We’re connected with your Leon primary care doctor and specialists. Your doctor can advise on your treatment in-person or via a telemedicine consultation so that you can stay informed about the care you receive.

If needed, the hospitalists that have complete access to your medical record and physician can facilitate your admission to the hospital.

That’s the level of personal attention you can only find at Leon Medical Centers.
