Urgent Care Aruba

Urgent Care Aruba (UCA) at the Noord Medical Center

When you need immediate medical attention and treatment, you can count on UCA for convenient and compassionate care.

The Noord Medical Center at Noord 63 provides primary and urgent care of non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries at a reasonable cost with little to no waiting time involved. UCA was founded by a local family of six physicians with almost 30 years of experience on the island. They can provide a quick, reliable, and efficient solution for any clinical challenge, big or small. The center is currently directed by Dr. Carlos Yagua Jr, a general physician with a dual master’s degree in healthcare and business administration.

UCA is open Monday to Friday from 8 am to 11 pm, and Saturday from 8 am to 5 pm, with 24/7 on-call support for after-hour care. Best of all, no appointment is needed in order to be seen by a medical professional—in English, Spanish, Dutch, or Papiamento—at the lowest rates for self-pay patients. A web check-in portal is available, allowing you to see actual waiting times and book your appointment if desired. Hotel visits can be requested, but only if you have been cleared after an initial symptoms triage process.

The center is beautifully appointed with ten consultation rooms for adults and pediatric patients. It features the latest medical equipment, point-of-care testing, and an on-site level III accredited and certified clinical laboratory, allowing physicians to obtain results in less than an hour, guaranteeing reliable diagnosis and timely medical care.

Most travel insurance plans are accepted, and UCA’s patients have had positive experiences when seeking reimbursement back home for self-pay care. If you have questions about your coverage, feel free to reach out to them, and they will aid you with coordination of care.
