I've driven past the big glass building next to SCHEELS at Ten Mile and I-84 more times than I can count. I always figured it was more office space for mortgage companies. It isn't. It turns out to be one of the most packed medical buildings in Meridian, and the blocks around it fill in most of what it's missing.
So the Man of Meridian did some homework. I haven't been a patient at most of these places (my knees and I are still negotiating), but here's what's actually off Ten Mile, floor by floor.
Ground Floor: Walk-In Care, Imaging and Same-Day Surgery
The building at 875 S. Vanguard Way opened as Saltzer Health's Ten Mile Medical Campus. Saint Alphonsus took over the urgent care and the surgery center in 2024.
Saint Alphonsus Urgent Care Ten Mile (867 S. Vanguard Way) is open 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., seven days a week, and it's walk-in only. It treats fevers, flu, sprains, fractures and cuts that need stitches, and it has X-ray, basic lab work and IV hydration on site. [1]
Ten Mile Surgery Center (Suite 120) does same-day procedures in orthopedics, ophthalmology, ENT, general surgery, pain management, gynecology and podiatry. The building has five operating suites and one procedure room. [2]
Intermountain Medical Imaging (Suite 100) offers MRI (Saturdays too), CT, ultrasound, X-ray and DEXA bone-density scans.
Second Floor: The Specialist Hallway
This is where it gets interesting. One hallway holds an orthopedist, an ENT, a urologist and a voice therapist.
Treasure Valley Orthopedics (Suite 200B): bones, joints and sports injuries.
Primary Health ENT (Suite 200A): ear, nose and throat care, by appointment only.
Idaho Voice & Swallow Center (Suite 200C): speech-language pathology for voice and swallowing problems. Singers, teachers and anyone who talks for a living, take note.
The Urology Clinic (Suite 200D): an independent urology practice.
OGA Women's Health: OB-GYN care, also on the second floor.
Third Floor: The Gut Department
Idaho Gastroenterology Associates opened its 10 Mile Clinic here in March and added an endoscopy center this summer. That means GI visits and colonoscopies happen on one floor. They celebrated with an official Meridian Chamber ribbon cutting. A sponsor parked a giant inflatable colon at the building entrance for photos. [3] Turning 45? This is your sign to book a screening, though the photo op has probably come down by now.
Around the Block
Ten Mile Crossing fills in the rest:
Foothills Physical Therapy (904 S. Vanguard Way, right next to SCHEELS) offers dry needling, pelvic health, pregnancy and postpartum care, custom orthotics and golf evaluations.
Advanced Prosthetics & Orthotics is in the same building.
Primary Health Ten Mile (260 S. Ten Mile Rd.) does urgent care and family medicine on weekdays until 7:30 p.m.
Nearby you'll also find Alliance Dental Care, 20/20 Eyecare and Functional Medicine of Idaho.
Coming soon: the Leyngold Institute for Plastic Surgery filed plans this spring for a 9,800-sq.-ft. surgery center on W. Excursion Lane.
Head North on Ten Mile
The Ten Mile corridor doesn't stop at the freeway:
Saint Alphonsus Meridian Health Plaza (3025 W. Cherry Ln., just east of Ten Mile) has family medicine, a second urgent care, sleep medicine, pulmonary care and podiatry.
St. Luke's Family Health – Ten Mile (3140 W. Milano Dr.) is a primary care clinic.
Ada West Dermatology has a clinic at Ten Mile and McMillan, including Mohs skin-cancer surgery.
The Verdict
Ten Mile has quietly become Meridian's specialist row. You can get an MRI, see an orthopedist and start physical therapy without leaving one parking lot, and you can grab a Gandolfo's sandwich on the way out. For west Meridian, Kuna and Nampa folks, that beats crossing the Valley for every appointment.
Man of Meridian tip: Urgent care isn't the ER. For chest pain, stroke symptoms or anything that's truly an emergency, call 911. Also call ahead to check insurance and referrals before you go, because specialists and suites change.
Have a favorite provider off Ten Mile, or a horror story about the parking lot? Tell me. I'm collecting.
