Urgent Care

About Us

Springfield Clinic Urgent Care is open 365 days a year and offers no-hassle, walk-in medical care-provided by board-certified family medicine specialists. Ideal for common illnesses and minor injuries that require a doctor's immediate attention, but may not be urgent enough for a visit to the hospital emergency room. Our four locations are fully equipped with necessary diagnostic services, including on-site lab and X-ray at each facility.

For your convenience, all Springfield Clinic Urgent Care locations offer the option to book an appointment online and reserve an appointment to reduce your wait time.

A visit to Urgent Care is considered an office visit by most insurance companies - which means you save time and money when you choose Urgent Care over the emergency room. 

Our experienced team of physicians, advanced practitioners and nurses has the skills to diagnose and treat your illness or injury quickly and effectively. In cases when we would advise a trip to the hospital or you need follow-up care with your regular doctor, we will help coordinate the transfer of your medical information and care.
