A.M. Urgent Care opens in Rock Falls

ROCK FALLS – The Rock Falls Chamber of Commerce celebrated a ribbon-cutting Friday with Dr. Ashok Maini as he opened his new urgent care facility at 1201 First Ave.

A.M. Urgent Care offers walk-in access for acute medical care for cuts, burns and illnesses; on-site lab testing and drug screening; sports and school physicals; Department of Transportation testing; weight-loss programs; IV hydration therapy; and more.

Maini thanked OSF Healthcare and CGH Medical Center for their support, along with Rock Falls Mayor Rod Kleckler and city administration for helping him realize his dream.

“I wanted to do this since I graduated from my residency at Rush in [the western suburbs] over 10 years ago,” Maini said. “I saw that there were no clinics or any type of health care available to this town, and I felt that I could give back to the community by providing that.”

Maini said his new urgent care facility accepts most insurance plans and also welcomes patients without insurance. The clinic is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, and no appointment is necessary.
