Caring for Clarkston, One
Patient at a Time

At MELA Urgent and Primary Care, we believe that every community deserves access to fast, affordable, and high-quality medical care—without the long waits or high costs associated with traditional healthcare systems. Our clinic was founded with a simple yet powerful mission: to put patients first and provide a dependable healthcare home for families across Clarkston and neighboring communities.

A Clinic Built for You

Located in the heart of Clarkston, our clinic is more than just a healthcare provider—it’s a trusted neighbor. We proudly serve individuals and families of all ages, backgrounds, and health needs, from toddlers with fevers to seniors managing chronic conditions. We know that life doesn’t wait for an appointment, so we offer walk-in urgent care to make sure you’re seen when it matters most.

Whether you’re dealing with a minor injury, seasonal illness, or need ongoing support for long-term health goals, our team is here with personalized care that meets you where you are.

Compassionate Care, Every Step of the Way

What sets MELA apart is our patient-first approach. We take the time to listen, understand your concerns, and work with you to find the right solutions. Our experienced providers bring not only medical expertise but also cultural sensitivity and kindness to every visit. We offer bilingual support, including for Amharic-speaking patients, so language is never a barrier to quality care.

We see every patient as a whole person—not a chart or case file—and we strive to create an environment where you feel respected, heard, and cared for.

A Community-Focused Approach

At MELA, we believe that strong communities start with healthy individuals. That’s why we go beyond the exam room to form partnerships with local schools, small businesses, and community organizations. We offer special rates for the uninsured and small employers, and we participate in local events to offer screenings and health education resources.

Our long-term vision is a healthier, more connected Clarkston—where no one delays care because of cost, access, or fear of being misunderstood.

We’re here for you—whether it’s a one-time visit or part of your ongoing wellness journey.
At MELA Urgent and Primary Care, you’ll always find trusted medical care that’s close to home, compassionate at heart, and committed to your health.
