Voting for the Best Urgent Care in Fairfax is nearing its deadline, leaving readers two weeks to support the local center they trust for prompt treatment when unexpected injuries or health concerns arise.

The Readers’ Choice Awards poll includes a selection of nominated urgent care centers. Anyone whose preferred facility is missing from the ballot can submit it as a write-in candidate.

Voting in the urgent care category will close at 8:30 a.m. Friday, Feb. 6. Ballots must be submitted before that cutoff to be counted.

A separate contest for the Best Orthopedist in Fairfax County is also underway. That poll has an earlier deadline, with voting scheduled to end at 8:30 a.m. Friday, Jan. 30.

Official results are also available from the Best Pediatrician in Fairfax poll held two weeks earlier. Michael Martin, Ranjana Jain and Laurence J. Murphy were listed in the final results.
