acudir

/akuˈdiɾ/ · B1 · verb

to go, come [with a ‘to’], to attend, visit

acudir a sounds like a-coo-DEER: you go to whoever calls you dear

Keep the 'a' attached: acudir a is to go to or turn to. Acudir al médico means to go to the doctor; acudir a los tribunales means to turn to the courts. It comes from Old Spanish recudir, with the prefix changed.
