There is an affordable alternative just near you: Columbia Clinic Urgent Care. Our board-certified doctors are available six days a week to diagnose and treat a variety of nonlife-threatening illness or injuries. Many injuries and diseases that associate with automatic trips to an ER – can be easily treated by our doctors at our walk-in urgent care center. Have you suddenly been stricken by an illness or injury? Don’t delay treatment! No appointment is needed. Just walk into our urgent care center and be seen promptly. If you do experience a short wait, it’ll be in our clean and comfortable patient lounge.

Besides providing immediate treatment to our patients, we also offer a variety of everyday services on demand with no appointment needed. One such service that is very popular and often needed are physicals. If you are starting a new job, attending a new school, or starting a sport, chances are you will need a physical to be cleared to participate. Just bring in the required forms, and we’ll fill out all paperwork after a thorough medical exam. We are an especially convenient choice for parents who just found out about a physical being due soon early in the day. No appointment is needed, so you don’t have to worry about missing out on any activities.

Another service we provide is immunizations. Many deadly diseases can be prevented nowadays through simple immunization programs. We carry all of the required vaccines children need to attend school and keep many you might need when you are traveling abroad. If by off chance we do not have a vaccine, we can quickly order it for you. Not sure what vaccines your child needs or what booster shots you need? Bring in your immunization records and we’ll research which immunizations are needed. If you are traveling overseas, visit our facility four to six weeks in advance with your travel plans. We’ll consult with the latest CDC guidance to make sure your immune system is just as ready for your trip as you are. We’ll forward this information to your primary care doctor, so they can update their records.
