About Us
Mission Statement
Durango Urgent Care supports our Community, by providing our patients accessible, affordable, quality healthcare; offering prompt attention and
expert care, delivering unsurpassed customer service in a welcoming environment.
Durango Urgent Care began in July 2006 to service Durango's urgent care needs when Mercy Regional Medical Center relocated to Three Springs east of Durango.
Our urgent care is primarily staffed by two experienced board-certified family physicians: Dr. 9 Sanders and Dr. Jim Brooke. Our physicians provide quality medical care in an urgent care setting. In addition, our physicians are supported by Dr. Jack Cartier one of the managing members of Durango Urgent Care and an emergency room physician for Mercy Regional Medical Center for more than 28 years.
Durango Urgent Care Support Team includes registered nurses, reception staff, and an on-site manager.
Durango Urgent Care is privately owned yet works in alliance with Mercy Regional Medical Center.
