Dalton, GA, (March 16, 2020) – Physicians Care, opened today at 1209 W. Walnut Ave., Suite 1, next to Pearle Vision. The walk-in family and urgent care center will be open seven days a week.

The center offers evening hours during the work week. For added convenience, walk-ins are welcome or online scheduling is available with Hold My Spot®.
