Two Local Clinics with Extended Hours

The center maintains two locations: the Delano office and the Tulare office. According to information on its own website, both are open from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Monday through Sunday, including weekends and evening hours when most medical practices are closed. The Tulare clinic is located in the Tulare Pavilion Shopping Center. Care is provided to residents of these communities as well as to the surrounding areas.

Urgent Care Services and Treatments

The center treats a broad range of non-serious conditions and injuries. Among the conditions it treats are colds and flu, pneumonia, back pain, cuts and lacerations, sprains and strains, as well as sudden and unexpected illnesses. The website emphasizes that a prompt response to lacerations, fractures, sprains, strains, and sudden illness makes a decisive difference in the patient's health and in their ability to continue with their life without interruption.

In addition to urgent care, the clinic offers other services on site:

• IV therapy
• B12 injections
• General physicals
• Sports physicals
• TB testing

Medical Team

The care team includes Yadwinder Kang, MD, a family medicine specialist certified by the American Board of Family Medicine. Dr. Kang earned his medical degree from the University of Debrecen in Hungary and completed his family medicine residency at the North Central Texas Medical Foundation. Working alongside him are Monica Verduzco, FNP (family nurse practitioner), and Anthony Merino, PA (physician assistant). The website also indicates that the team includes a board-certified family physician.

New Patients and Payment Options

For first-time patients, the center performs a thorough evaluation and develops a personalized treatment plan based on the needs of each case. Walk-in patients are accepted and appointment scheduling is offered. To expedite the visit, patients are asked to bring photo identification, an insurance card, and a list of any medications they are currently taking. As for payment, the clinic accepts cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express for costs not covered by insurance.

When to Go to the Hospital Emergency Room

The website itself warns that for chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of stroke, or any life-threatening emergency, you should call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Prime Valley's care is intended for conditions and injuries that are not life-threatening.

Patient Reviews

The site includes more than 200 patient comments highlighting the friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness of the clinic, and the speed of care. Several reviews mention being seen shortly after registration, in some cases in less than an hour, and compare the wait time favorably with that of a hospital emergency room.
