Metro Urgent Care
Verified listingAbout Metro Urgent Care
## What is Metro Urgent Care? Metro Urgent Care is a walk-in urgent care clinic in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood that also offers testosterone replacement therapy and a medical weight-loss program alongside its general urgent-care services — illness visits, physicals, lab work, STD testing, and more. Dr. Jose Ayala, MD, is the one named provider tied to a credential on the practice's team page; other staff are listed by name and by credential title, but without a clear one-to-one pairing between them.
## What medications and treatments does it use? For weight loss, the clinic names semaglutide and Wegovy specifically. Its broader services menu also covers Botox, flu shots, strep throat treatment, abscess and laceration care, DOT and immigration physicals, and an in-house lab and pharmacy — reflecting its dual identity as both an urgent care and a hormone/weight-loss provider.
## What does the weight-loss program cost? The site publishes its weight-loss pricing as a single running sentence rather than a table: the introductory month is $300, each subsequent month is $400, and the fifth month is $500. A standalone B-12 shot costs $10. No price is published anywhere for testosterone replacement therapy, and there's no stated consultation fee for either program.
## Is insurance accepted? Yes. Metro Urgent Care says it accepts most health insurance plans, including Medicaid, Medicare, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, Humana, United Healthcare, Molina, and several others, and it names its specific in-network plans on its insurance page. One plan, Amita HealthCare, is listed as pending rather than active in-network coverage. Self-pay is also available for the uninsured, though the site gives no self-pay dollar figures — that requires a phone call.
## Who is it for? Because the practice runs both urgent care and its testosterone and weight-loss lines out of the same offices, it may suit patients who want ordinary primary and urgent care alongside hormone or weight management, rather than a stand-alone weight-loss or hormone clinic.
## Where is it, and what are the hours? This location, labeled "Irving Park" on the site, is at 3235 W. Montrose Ave, Chicago, IL 60618. It's open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and closed Saturday and Sunday. The practice describes its service area as Chicago and La Grange, IL. The site doesn't say whether telehealth or virtual visits are available at this location.
