Same-Day Sick Visits for Wellington Patients
When something comes up that can't wait for a scheduled appointment, Wellington-area patients can call either of our nearby offices — Loxahatchee or West Palm Beach — for a same-day sick visit with a practice that already knows their history, rather than an urgent care they've never seen before.
What a same-day sick visit covers
- A same-week or same-day appointment when the schedule allows
- An evaluation of your symptoms by your own practice, not an urgent care you have never seen before
- In-office testing when your provider recommends it
- A clear plan for what to do next and when to follow up
- Your visit recorded in the same chart as the rest of your care
Two nearby offices to choose from
Wellington sits close to both of our Loxahatchee and West Palm Beach offices, so patients in this area have a choice of whichever is more convenient that day. Calling ahead, even just from the car, usually gets you seen faster than walking in cold.
Insurance and what to expect
We work with most major insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid. Call (561) 879-4006 for Loxahatchee or (561) 473-9044 for West Palm Beach, and our staff can confirm your coverage and let you know how soon you can be seen.
Who this is for
- Patients with a cold, flu, or sinus infection who want to be seen the same day
- Existing patients who would rather see their own practice than an urgent care
- New patients who need to be seen quickly and haven't established care yet
- Parents bringing in a family member with a sudden illness
- Patients who need in-office testing done as part of the same visit
- Anyone unsure whether their symptoms need a same-day visit or can wait for a scheduled appointment
About the Wellington area
Wellington is a village of about 60,000 west of West Palm Beach, known for its equestrian community and a mix of newer subdivisions and long-established neighborhoods. Patients from this area make up a regular part of our schedule, and our front-office staff are used to giving directions from local landmarks if you haven't been to the office before. If you're not sure which of our offices is closest to you, call and we can help you figure that out before you book.
What to bring to a same-day visit
Bring a photo ID, your insurance card, and a list of any medications you're currently taking — especially if you're a new patient we haven't seen before. If you've already tried an over-the-counter treatment, mention what it was and whether it helped, since that can shape what your provider recommends next. You don't need an appointment booked in advance for a same-day visit, but calling ahead, even from the car, usually means less time in the waiting room once you arrive.
Which office should I call for a same-day visit from Wellington?
Either works — Loxahatchee and West Palm Beach are both a reasonable drive from Wellington, so call whichever is more convenient. Our staff can tell you same-day availability at both offices when you call, so you can pick based on who can see you sooner rather than guessing.
Do I need to be an existing patient to be seen same-day?
No — new patients are welcome for same-day sick visits, though existing patients may be seen slightly faster since their history is already on file. Call ahead either way, and our staff can confirm your insurance coverage and get you on the schedule for that day.
What kinds of illnesses do you see on a same-day basis?
Common illnesses like colds, flu, sinus infections, minor injuries, and similar acute issues are typically handled the same day. If your provider recommends in-office testing, it can usually be done during the same visit, with results discussed before you leave or at a quick follow-up.
Are walk-ins accepted, or do I need to call first?
Walk-ins are welcome at both offices, but calling ahead — even a few minutes before you leave — usually means a shorter wait once you arrive. Call (561) 879-4006 or (561) 473-9044 and our staff can give you a sense of that day's schedule before you head over.
What if I call and same-day slots are full?
Our staff will let you know honestly if the schedule is full for that day and can offer the next available opening, or point you to whichever of our two nearby offices has room sooner. Calling early in the day gives you the best chance at same-day availability.
Can a same-day visit include a prescription?
If your provider determines a prescription is appropriate for what you're being seen for, it can be sent to your pharmacy the same visit. That decision is made case by case during the exam, based on your specific symptoms and history, so bring a list of what you're already taking when you come in.
