High-traffic Ann Arbor corner to become home to Michigan-based urgent care and pharmacy

at Washtenaw Avenue and Huron Parkway will soon be host to a combination of an urgent care clinic, pharmacy and potentially an alternative wellness center all housed within a space that was a former

store.

The first of the trio to open will be a Michigan Urgent Care clinic at 3280 Washtenaw Avenue. The 4,000-square-foot facility will have its grand opening Oct. 25.

The Ann Arbor location will be the 10th in a line of clinics owned and operated by Dr. Mohammed Arsiwala, a doctor from Northville whos invested in urgent care facilities across southeast Michigan.

By January, locally owned Clark Professional Pharmacy will be moving to a 3,500-square-foot space adjacent to the clinic from its current location at 3075 West Clark Road in Ypsilanti across from the St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor campus.

An additional 700- to 1,200-square-foot space is currently being marketed as an alternative medicine space. Arsiwala said he would like to have a wholistic yoga studio take residence there.

Gene Michaelson, a broker for KW Commercial who is marketing the space, said hes pitching it as a good location for a chiropractor, alternative medicine clinic or pain management facility.

Arsiwala, 45, moved to the U.S. from India in 1993. He started his medical career with a residency at Wayne State Detroit Medical Center. After losing his job at Providence Hospital, Arsiwala invested in an urgent care clinic in Livonia with a business partner. Two years later, the duo was able to turn a profit on the clinic and soon had their vision trained on expanding.
