After Hours Urgent Care in Tampa, FL

Man experiencing painful headacheWhen you need urgent care after hours in Tampa, FL, turn to South Tampa Immediate Care, where you can see a Board-certified or Board-eligible doctor on your schedule. Our walk-in clinic is open every day during extended hours, so we are available to provide prompt medical attention for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries when many other health care providers are not. And while we do not require appointments, you are welcome to enter our waiting room remotely for your added convenience.

Reserve the ER for True Emergencies

Of course, you can also receive urgent care after hours at a hospital emergency room. But the round-the-clock availability of an ER comes at a high price. Some people head straight to a hospital whenever they need medical care and their doctor’s office is closed, regardless of the seriousness of their situation. Others mistakenly believe that the ER is always the best place to go, no matter the time of day or how sick or injured they may be.

However, for non-emergency urgent care after hours, South Tampa Immediate Care is a better option than an ER. At our well-established medical clinic, we provide prompt and effective treatment for many non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries that often require urgent care after hours, such as the common cold, flu, fever, sore throats, coughs, ear infections, sprains, strains, cuts, and minor fractures. With us, you and your family can also benefit from:

  • Personalized care from experienced and friendly doctors
  • Minimal wait times
  • On-site lab testing and X-ray services
  • Lower out-of-pocket costs than those typically associated with an ER visit

When to Go to the ER

With all of that said, we do want to emphasize an important distinction between emergency care and urgent care. If you are experiencing a true medical emergency, such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, or uncontrollable bleeding, the right thing to do is call 911 immediately or go directly to the nearest hospital ER.

Otherwise, you are welcome to visit South Tampa Immediate Care, where we offer urgent care services during extended hours. Stop by our urgent care center at 602 S. Howard Ave. today and find out why we have been trusted by South Tampa residents since 2007.
