Is immediate care the same as urgent care or a walk-in clinic?
Yes. Immediate care, urgent care and walk-in clinic are three names for the same kind of visit: care today, without an appointment, for an illness or injury that is not an emergency. People around Bolingbrook search for all three, and at our clinic they mean the same thing. You walk in, a provider examines you, and you leave with a treatment plan.
MedlinePlus, the patient health site of the National Library of Medicine, gives a simple test. If the problem is not life threatening and not risking disability, but you’re worried and can’t see your own provider soon enough, go to urgent care. Its examples include colds, flu, earaches, sore throats, low-grade fevers, limited rashes, sprains and minor broken bones.
The names can differ in one way. Some walk-in clinics, such as small clinics inside pharmacies, handle a shorter list of minor problems and may not have X-ray. We have X-ray, rapid tests, urinalysis and EKG in the building, so more can be checked in one visit. Our guide to urgent care vs. a walk-in clinic explains the rest.
Immediate care is not a replacement for the emergency room. The American College of Emergency Physicians notes that urgent care centers don’t have the same equipment or trained staff as an emergency department. They are a good choice for minor illness and injury, or when your doctor’s office is closed.
Bolingbrook immediate care hours and what to do after 8 PM
We’re open every day, 8 AM to 8 PM, including Saturday and Sunday, and walk-ins are welcome. Those hours cover evenings after work or school and weekends, when many doctor’s offices are closed.
We are not a 24-hour clinic. If you start feeling sick after 8 PM and it isn’t an emergency, use our online booking page. In the evening it shows next-day times, so you can pick a time for tomorrow before you go to bed.
If you’d rather not walk in during the day, you can also save your spot online and come at the time you chose. For holiday hours, call (630) 914-5373 to ask. For an emergency at any hour, call 911.

What we treat at our Bolingbrook walk-in clinic
We treat common illnesses and minor injuries in adults and children, the same kinds of problems that MedlinePlus and ACEP list as a good fit for urgent care. If you’re not sure your problem fits, call us before you come in.
Coughs, colds, flu and sore throats
We see colds, coughs, sore throats, flu, COVID-19 and strep throat, and we treat mild asthma flare-ups. If breathing is hard or getting worse fast, call 911 instead of driving here.
Ears, sinuses and eyes
Earaches, ear infections, sinus infections and pink eye are all treated here. ACEP lists earaches and pink eye among the problems you can take to urgent care on evenings or weekends.
Stomach and urinary symptoms
We treat nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and urinary tract infections. Vomiting or diarrhea that won’t stop is a reason for the emergency room, according to MedlinePlus.
Sprains, strains and possible broken bones
Sprains, strains and minor broken bones. X-ray can check for a fracture during the same visit, and we have splints and crutches on hand.
Rashes, minor burns and mild allergic reactions
Limited rashes, minor burns and mild allergic reactions. A severe allergic reaction with trouble breathing, swelling or hives is an emergency. Call 911.
Children and teens
We see children from infancy through the teen years for fevers, ear pain, sore throats, rashes and minor injuries. Read more about our pediatric urgent care.
Walk in, or book a visit for tomorrow
Come in any day of the week without an appointment, or save your spot online, with next-day times after 8 PM.
Tests we can do during your visit
X-ray, rapid tests, urinalysis and EKG are all done here, so many problems can be checked and treated in one visit instead of a second trip somewhere else.
- X-ray every day we’re open, with splints and crutches for sprains and fractures.
- Rapid strep, flu and COVID tests. MedlinePlus says a rapid strep test can give results in 10 to 20 minutes.
- Urinalysis, which helps check for a urinary tract infection.
- EKG, a quick test that records your heart’s electrical activity.
- Blood drawn here and sent to an outside lab, so those results come back after you leave.
What we don’t have
We don’t have CT or MRI. If you need one, your provider will talk with you about where to go next. And an EKG on site does not make urgent care the right place for chest pain. Chest pain or pressure is a reason to call 911.
Other care at the same clinic
We offer more than sick and injury visits. Call or book online to ask how to schedule any of these.
- Pediatric urgent care, infancy through the teen years
- Confidential STD testing for common STIs, with a self-pay option (some results the same day, others from an outside lab)
- DOT physicals by a certified medical examiner listed on the FMCSA National Registry, 7 days a week
- Sports, school and annual physicals
- Primary care
- Flu shots
- Allergy testing and asthma treatment
- Women’s health visits and telehealth visits
- Medical weight loss, IV hydration therapy and peptide therapy
Childhood vaccines
We do not give childhood vaccinations. Routine shots for kids come from your child’s regular doctor or the county health department: the Will County Health Department or the DuPage County Health Department. You can see all of our services on one page.
How to check in and what to bring
Walk in any day with no appointment, or save your spot online and arrive at the time you picked. At the front desk we’ll ask for your ID, your insurance card and a short description of your symptoms. A provider then examines you, orders any tests you need here and goes over your treatment plan and follow-up before you leave.
Bringing these makes check-in easier and helps your provider give you safe care:
- A photo ID
- Your insurance card, if you have one
- A list of the medicines, vitamins and supplements you take, with doses
- Any allergies, especially to medicines
- Your regular doctor’s name and phone number
- For a child, the child’s insurance card
Insurance and self-pay
We accept Aetna, Cigna, Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, Illinois Medicaid plans (HFS, Meridian, CountyCare, Molina and YouthCare), UnitedHealthcare and Humana. Plans vary, so call (630) 914-5373 to confirm your specific plan before you come. Our insurance page has more detail.
No insurance? Self-pay is available. Your cost is the visit plus any tests you need, such as an X-ray. Call for current self-pay pricing.
For a problem that isn’t an emergency, the ER usually costs more. MedlinePlus notes that emergency department treatment can cost 2 to 3 times more than the same care in your provider’s office, and your plan may charge a higher copay for the ER. Your own cost depends on your plan.
