Fast-Growing Urgent Care System Expands Footprint in Southeast Texas
(February 8, 2022) – American Family Care (AFC), the nation’s leading provider of urgent care and accessible primary care, continues to expand its national healthcare network with the opening of two new locations in Metro Houston, Texas. AFC Upper Kirby and AFC Humble round out eight clinics now serving the millions of families living and working in the area.
Over the last 40 years, AFC has pioneered the concept of non-emergency room urgent care and expanded its footprint coast to coast. All AFC clinics are designed, equipped, and staffed to provide accessible primary care, urgent care, and minor emergency treatment.
“No matter which of our eight metro Houston locations you visit, AFC makes it convenient for all patients to be seen quickly while getting access to the quality care they deserve,” explains Zikar Maredia, who owns and operates AFC Upper Kirby, AFC Humble as well as six other Houston area locations. “Urgent care is a convenient, economical alternative to visiting a hospital emergency department. Our medical staff administers COVID-19 testing and treats everything from colds and flu to cuts, bruises, and fractures.”

- Laboratory on Site – AFC’s on-site laboratory provides a wide variety of lab work, including COVID-19 testing, COVID-19 travel testing, and flu testing.
