A veteran Physician Assistant with two decades of emergency medicine experience
Meet Alan McClintick, a dedicated and compassionate Physician Assistant at Instant Urgent Care — and one of the most experienced members of our clinical team. With six years of unwavering commitment to IUC and over two decades of broader medical service before that, Alan brings a depth of clinical judgment that only comes from thousands of real-world patient encounters.
Alan's path to medicine is anything but ordinary. Originally from Los Angeles, his career has taken him from California to the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, the Asia-Pacific region, and back to Silicon Valley. But the defining chapter was his 21.5-year career in the United States Air Force, where he served as an air-medical technician, worked in search-and-rescue operations, and spent eight years in the flight surgeon's office — all of which gave him a profound understanding of emergency medical care under pressure.
After transitioning from military service, Alan completed his medical training through the University of Nebraska, earning a degree in biomedical science. Today, his clinical expertise spans emergency medicine, orthopedics, and internal medicine, allowing him to confidently address a wide range of urgent care needs — from minor injuries and infections to more complex diagnostic workups.
Alan's commitment to medicine doesn't end with patient care. He takes pride in mentoring new staff and medical trainees, passing on his knowledge and hard-earned clinical wisdom to the next generation. Remarkably multilingual — fluent in English, Spanish, Hindi, Urdu, and Punjabi — he can connect with patients across many of Silicon Valley's communities. Outside the clinic, you'll find him camping or hiking, reflecting his lifelong belief in the restorative power of nature.
