Connected to the Community in Tuscaloosa County
We started NorthRiver On Call because we saw a gap—people who needed care fast but couldn't always make it to a clinic. Whether it's a sick child in the middle of the night or an injury at work, you shouldn't have to choose between quality treatment and convenience.
From the tree-lined neighborhoods near the University of Alabama to the rural roads that stretch through Tuscaloosa County, we know this area and the people who call it home. We treat cold and flu symptoms, strep throat, sinus infections, ear infections, upper respiratory infections, fever and viral illnesses, nausea, vomiting, and mild dehydration. We also provide IV fluids, suturing for lacerations, splints, crutches, and shots including COVID, flu, strep, RSV, and mono testing.
We're proud to serve all of Tuscaloosa County and nearby communities with compassionate, professional treatment seven days a week—without requiring lab work or referrals.
