Care When You Can't WaitSame-Day Appointments in Plainview, NY

Illness and injury do not follow a schedule — and neither should your access to a doctor. At AFI Doctors, we reserve appointment slots every single day specifically for patients who need to be seen today. Whether you woke up with a high fever, developed a UTI, are dealing with an allergic reaction, or twisted an ankle at work, our same-day appointment service in Plainview NY gets you in front of Dr. Iquinder Singh, MD — a board-certified primary care physician — without the hours-long wait of an urgent care chain or emergency room.

What makes AFI Doctors different from a walk-in urgent care clinic is that when you come in for a same-day appointment in Plainview NY, you are seen by the same physician every time. Dr. Singh knows your history, your medications, and your health background — which means faster, more accurate care and fewer unnecessary tests or prescriptions. As a private primary care practice, we give every patient real time and real attention, even when you are coming in on the same day.
