When I was a kid, I would hear stories of doctors who made house calls.

I haven’t heard about anything like that in many, many years.

Times are changing, and now West Alabama is getting an amazing service that happens to be the first of its kind in our state.

Who wants to get up, get dressed, get in the car, and drive to a doctor's office?

Once you are inside, you will sit in a waiting room for who knows how long.

Now it’s possible for providers to come to your home or workplace.

Thanks to the new Northriver On Call, in-home visits are not only possible, but it’s the only thing they do.

Let me correct that because it’s not the only thing they do; they will also come to your place of business.

The reviews so far from people who have used North River On Call have been incredibly good.

It’s a new way to experience urgent care for Tuscaloosa County and the surrounding areas.

In most cases, they can make it after setting up an appointment on the same day you contact them.

The idea of bringing urgent care medicine to you at home or in your office is a long time coming.

A few things you should know: Northriver On Call is family-owned and operated, with over 40 years of combined experience.

They are available seven days a week for all urgent care needs.

They appeared on the Steve & DC Show on 95.3 The Bear this morning, and you can hear it below:
