About AFC Urgent Care Fairfield
Starting with a single location in 1982, American Family Care (AFC) has pioneered the concept of non-emergency room urgent care. With its 2013 acquisition of the Doctors Express franchise, AFC has become the nation’s leading provider of urgent care, accessible primary care, and occupational medicine, with more than 160 clinics and 500 in-network physicians caring for 2 million patients a year. Ranked by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest growing companies in the U.S., AFC’s stated mission is 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.
AFC Urgent Care in Fairfield opened October 2015 and is the second center established by Dr. Steven Heffer, Owner/Medical Director. We have a comfortable lounge to wait in, a very friendly and professional staff and state of the art equipment (including digital x-ray and a full lab) to take care of all your urgent care needs.
Our Mission
Our mission was born out of a desire to change the way urgent health care is delivered in the United States. We believe that urgent care should be provided by highly trained physicians, supported by a well-qualified staff, in comfortable yet modern facilities.
Our Reputation
AFC Urgent Care is known for advanced patient care provided by expert board certified physicians and staff, particularly in the areas of urgent care and occupational medicine. Our ability to provide state-of-the-art treatment stems from our commitment to team work, collaboration and first class patient care.

Walk-in Medical Care When You Need It, Where You Need It
Urgent care centers, sometimes called walk-in clinics, are a convenient healthcare resource for people nationwide. At American Family Care® , we do not require appointments or referrals. If you cannot wait until your primary care providers has time for an appointment, our clinics are here to provide the immediate medical care you need at a fraction of the cost you will encounter at the emergency room.
We strive to make the healthcare experience as convenient and accessible as possible, which is why our clinics are open during the evening hours and on weekends.
