All Patient Questions
Does Wade’s Care First have an office in Las Vegas?

No. Wade’s Care First is a telehealth practice. You join your visit by secure video from home, work or anywhere in Nevada, and Charles Wade, FNP-BC is licensed to treat you while you are in the state. Anything that needs hands-on care is coordinated with facilities in and around Las Vegas, such as University Medical Center of Southern Nevada (UMC), 1800 W. Charleston Blvd., Clark County’s public academic hospital; an adult Level I trauma center, pediatric Level II trauma, Lions Burn Care Center, UMC Children’s Hospital, Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center and Sunrise Children’s Hospital (HCA Healthcare), 3186 S. Maryland Pkwy., adult Level I trauma, 24-hour ER, pediatric ER and Valley Hospital Medical Center, 620 Shadow Lane, and MountainView Hospital, 3100 N. Tenaya Way, 24-hour emergency departments (also Summerlin, Spring Valley and Southern Hills hospitals on the Southern Nevada Health District receiving-hospital list).

Where will I go for blood work if I live in Las Vegas?

Quest Diagnostics lists 21 patient service centers within 15 miles of downtown (89101): 11 in Las Vegas, 7 in Henderson, 3 in North Las Vegas. Labcorp lists seven Las Vegas sites (N. Tenaya Way, W. Sunset Rd., W. Charleston Blvd., N. Town Center Dr., S. Rainbow Blvd., plus Labcorp at Walgreens on S. Jones Blvd. and E. Flamingo Rd.). Hospitals also run outpatient labs. We send the order electronically to a location that is convenient for you or in your insurance network. Results come back to us for review with you.

Which Las Vegas hospitals have an emergency department?

University Medical Center of Southern Nevada (UMC), 1800 W. Charleston Blvd., Clark County’s public academic hospital; an adult Level I trauma center, pediatric Level II trauma, Lions Burn Care Center, UMC Children’s Hospital, Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center and Sunrise Children’s Hospital (HCA Healthcare), 3186 S. Maryland Pkwy., adult Level I trauma, 24-hour ER, pediatric ER and Valley Hospital Medical Center, 620 Shadow Lane, and MountainView Hospital, 3100 N. Tenaya Way, 24-hour emergency departments (also Summerlin, Spring Valley and Southern Hills hospitals on the Southern Nevada Health District receiving-hospital list). For chest pain, trouble breathing, stroke symptoms, severe bleeding, a major injury or thoughts of harming yourself, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than booking a video visit.

Are there community health centers in Las Vegas for in-person care?

Nevada Health Centers, Martin Luther King Family Health (1799 Mount Mariah Dr., with pharmacy), Nellis Family Medical Center, Las Vegas Health and Wellness Center, NVHC Wellness Center at Enterprise, Southern Nevada Community Health Center (FQHC run by the Southern Nevada Health District), 280 S. Decatur Blvd, FirstMed Health and Wellness Center, Shadow Lane (400 Shadow Ln.) and First Person Care Clinic (1200 S. 4th St.; 916 W. Owens Ave.) serve the area with in-person primary care on a sliding scale. Many patients pair that kind of local clinic with telehealth for follow-ups, medication management and specialist coordination.

Can I use Nevada Medicaid or other insurance for a telehealth visit from Las Vegas?

Nevada Medicaid plans are not on the participating list right now. Plans accepted in Nevada: BCBS / Anthem PPO, UnitedHealthcare PPO, UMR (PPO), Aetna PPO, Cigna PPO, Humana PPO, Ambetter PPO, TRICARE. Benefits are verified before your visit, and self-pay pricing is posted if your plan is not accepted.

Is Las Vegas a health professional shortage area?

Parts of Clark County are designated primary care HPSAs (geographic and low-income); parts of Clark County have mental health shortage designations per the Nevada Primary Care Office. Check HRSA HPSA Find for the current designation of a specific address. Telehealth can complement local clinicians by offering another way to access primary care, mental health and medication follow-up while you keep your local relationships.

Can orders be sent to a laboratory or imaging facility near me?

When clinically appropriate, we can send orders to a laboratory or imaging facility you choose. Confirm that the location performs the requested test, accepts the order and participates in your insurance network. Availability and travel distance vary by community.

Good to know

Services, screening recommendations, testing, treatment options, referrals and prescribing may vary with your age, medical history, symptoms, where you are physically located at the time of the visit, state and federal requirements, insurance requirements, and whether your condition can be safely managed by telehealth. Conditions and services listed here are examples. An appointment does not guarantee a particular diagnosis, a prescription, a controlled medication, hormone therapy, a lab order, an imaging study, a sleep study, a specialist referral, an accommodation letter or a particular treatment. Treatment decisions follow a clinical evaluation and the provider’s judgment.

Metro area · Clark County

Getting care in Las Vegas

Nevada’s largest city and the core of a 2.4-million-person desert metro built around a 24-hour hospitality and gaming economy.

If you live in Las Vegas, you have more doctors nearby than anywhere else in Nevada, but getting an appointment is still hard. Clark County holds about two-thirds of the state’s physicians, yet the whole county sits inside a federal mental health shortage area, and the state’s own Primary Care Office says many local practices do not take Medicaid. A video visit with Wade’s Care First works around those waits for routine primary care, prescription management, ADHD and mental health follow-up, and skin, sleep and weight concerns.

You connect from home or a break room, on any schedule, including after a swing or graveyard shift. The practice has no office in Las Vegas; everything happens by video, and anything you need in person is sent to a facility near you.

Access in Clark County

Clark County holds 69 percent of Nevada’s active physicians (5,167 of 7,183), yet the state Primary Care Office reports the whole county is now inside a mental health HPSA and that many urban providers do not accept Medicaid, which drives low-income shortage designations. Nevada’s 2025 UNR Med physician workforce report finds the state would need 2,303 more physicians to reach the national per-capita average, including 251 family medicine doctors, 411 pediatricians and 105 psychiatrists; in 35 of 37 AMA specialty areas Nevada is below the national rate, and psychiatrists number 8.7 per 100,000 versus 12.2 nationally.

UNR Med reporting has placed Nevada 45th among states for active physicians and 48th for primary care physicians per capita. About 64.9 percent of Nevadans live in a federally designated primary care HPSA and 91.3 percent live in a mental health HPSA (15 of 17 counties are single-county mental health HPSAs). The state Primary Care Office notes all 17 counties carry some shortage designation; in cities a key driver is that many providers do not accept Medicaid, and in rural and frontier areas travel time to a provider can be several hours. Nevada’s uninsured rate was 11.4 percent in 2024 (47th of 50 states; US 8.2 percent).

Who this helps most in Las Vegas

Telehealth fits Las Vegas residents who work nights or rotating hours in hotels, casinos and restaurants, parents who need a pediatric visit for a child five or older without leaving work, adults managing ADHD, anxiety or depression, and anyone whose primary care doctor has a months-long wait. It also helps if you are uninsured or between plans and want clear pricing before you commit. Some problems need hands-on care.

Go to an emergency room for chest pain, stroke signs, trouble breathing, severe injury or heat stroke; UMC and Sunrise are the valley’s Level I trauma centers, and Valley, MountainView and several other hospitals have 24-hour ERs. If you need a sliding-fee clinic, Southern Nevada Community Health Center and Nevada Health Centers see patients regardless of insurance.

Local health considerations

  • 24-hour economy: leisure and hospitality jobs were 302,500 of 1,184,600 nonfarm jobs in the Las Vegas metro in August 2026 (about 25.5 percent). NIOSH notes that short sleep tied to long or rotating hours raises risk of obesity and chronic illness; sleep, mood and blood-sugar problems are common reasons shift workers seek care.
  • Extreme heat: the National Weather Service Las Vegas office publishes HeatRisk forecasts for the valley, and the Southern Nevada Health District runs a heat-related illness surveillance program. Dehydration, heat exhaustion and medication interactions (diuretics, some psychiatric and blood-pressure drugs) matter from late spring through early fall.
  • Coverage gaps: Nevada’s uninsured rate of 11.4 percent (2024) ranks 47th nationally, and much of the uninsured population lives in Clark County.
