What our women’s health clinic in Bolingbrook offers
We see women and teens for health problems that need attention now and for routine checkups. A provider listens, examines you, and orders only the tests that fit your symptoms. On site, we have:
- Urinalysis for burning, urgency or cloudy urine
- Testing for common STIs; a few results come back that day, and the rest go to an outside lab
- Blood drawn here and sent to an outside lab when you need blood work
- Annual physicals and ongoing primary care
Follow-up care and telehealth
If you don’t have a regular doctor, our primary care visits let you return to the same clinic for follow-up and yearly checkups. When the drive isn’t practical, a telehealth visit lets you talk with us from home.
Pap tests and pregnancy tests
Call (630) 914-5373 before you come if you want a Pap test or a pregnancy test at your visit. A short call tells you whether that test can be part of the visit, so you don’t make an extra trip.
Who our women’s health visits are for
Any woman or teen with a concern that shouldn’t wait for a routine appointment can walk in, and so can women who want a checkup. Weekend hours help if you work on weekdays.
Our clinic sits in Bolingbrook, within about 20 minutes by car of the towns around it. Romeoville takes roughly 10 minutes to reach, Woodridge 11, Lemont, Darien and Lisle about 14, Downers Grove 16 and Lockport 17. From downtown Plainfield the drive takes about 15 minutes, and from downtown Naperville about 18. Our pages on women’s health near Plainfield and women’s health near Naperville cover those routes.

Symptoms, your last period, your medicines and any chance of pregnancy.
- 3Exam with a provider
The provider examines you and decides which tests fit.
- 4On-site tests
Urinalysis during the visit; some STI results the same day.

Blood and some STI samples are sent out, and results come later.
What happens at a women’s health visit
Most visits follow a simple path: check-in, a talk about your symptoms, an exam, and any tests that fit. The provider will ask when the problem started, the date your last period began, which medicines you take, and whether you could be pregnant. That last answer affects which medicines are safe for you.
Urinalysis is done during the visit. Your provider will tell you which other results, such as blood work sent to the outside lab, are still pending when you head home.
Same-day care for UTI symptoms
You can walk in with symptoms of a urinary tract infection, and we test your urine during the visit. A woman’s urethra is short and close to the anus, which makes it easier for bacteria to reach the bladder. MedlinePlus lists sex, menopause, pregnancy and diabetes among the things that raise the risk.
A bladder infection typically burns when you urinate and makes you feel you have to go again and again, even with an empty bladder. Your lower belly may feel pressure or cramping, and urine can look cloudy or bloody or smell strong. In older women, new confusion can be the only sign, so family members should mention it.
Kidney involvement shows up as a fever above 101°F, shaking chills, side or back pain, or nausea and vomiting. Come in that same day, and choose the ER instead if you are vomiting too much to hold down fluids. With treatment, bladder symptoms usually fade within 24 to 48 hours; tell your provider if they don’t. Our UTI symptom page has more on what helps at home.
Get your women’s health concern checked today
We’re open every day, 8 AM to 8 PM. Walk in with UTI symptoms, vaginal discomfort or an STI question, or book a time online from home.
Vaginal itching, discharge or odor
Come in if your discharge changes in color, amount or smell, or if itching and irritation haven’t settled after a week of home care. MedlinePlus names several common causes of abnormal discharge: a yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis (an overgrowth of normal vaginal bacteria that can cause a gray discharge and fishy odor), and infections passed through sex, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomoniasis. Low estrogen after menopause, a forgotten tampon, and chemicals in detergents, feminine sprays or douches can cause symptoms too.
Until you’re seen, rinse with plain water instead of soap, skip douching, and wear loose clothes and cotton underwear. Douching can make things worse because it washes away the healthy bacteria that protect the vagina. Get checked promptly if you also have fever, pelvic pain, sores or blisters, or burning when you pee, or if you may have been exposed to an STI.
STD screening in Bolingbrook, near Downers Grove
Confidential testing for common STIs is available on any day we are open, and you can use insurance or pay yourself. Certain results come back the same day, and the remaining samples are processed by an outside lab.
Testing makes sense without symptoms, too. Under the CDC’s STI screening guidance, every sexually active woman younger than 25 should be checked for chlamydia and gonorrhea, as should women 25 and older with a higher risk. The CDC also advises HIV screening for all women ages 13 to 64. Untreated infections can cause harm later: MedlinePlus lists past STIs as a risk factor for ectopic pregnancy and names early STI diagnosis and treatment as one way to lower that risk.
From Downers Grove, the drive takes about 16 minutes; our STD testing page for Downers Grove has the details.
Cervical and breast cancer screening
Screening follows an age-based schedule, and Illinois offers it free to eligible women who have no coverage for it. These are the CDC’s intervals for women at average risk:
- Ages 21 to 29: a Pap test, repeated about every 3 years while results stay normal
- Ages 30 to 65: an HPV test every 5 years, HPV and Pap co-testing every 5 years, or a Pap test every 3 years
- Over 65: you may be able to stop if your Pap or HPV tests over the past 10 years were normal; ask your doctor
- Ages 40 to 74: a mammogram every 2 years, per the recommendation the CDC cites
Free screening if you have no coverage
Illinois women ages 21 to 64 may qualify for free screening through the Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program if they lack insurance or their plan doesn’t pay for these tests. Income doesn’t matter. The program covers Pap tests, pelvic and breast exams, and mammograms. For both Will and DuPage counties, the state lists VNA Health Care (630-892-4355, extension 8535) as the local agency. You can also enroll by calling the state Women’s Health-Line at 888-522-1282.
HPV vaccine for preteens
The Illinois Department of Public Health recommends two doses of HPV vaccine at ages 11 to 12. We don’t give childhood vaccinations, so ask your child’s regular doctor about this shot or call the Will County or DuPage County Health Department.
What we do not offer, and where to go instead
We are an urgent care clinic, not an OB-GYN office, and we have no CT or MRI. Prenatal care belongs with an OB-GYN, a family doctor who provides pregnancy care, or a midwife.
Nearly all of Bolingbrook lies in Will County: the Census Bureau’s 2025 estimate places 73,316 of its 74,803 residents there and about 1,500 in DuPage County. The Will County Community Health Center (815-727-8670) lists prenatal and postpartum care at its main Joliet office and gynecology visits at its Bolingbrook branch on Quadrangle Drive.

Questions and answers
Questions we hear often
Still not sure? Call (630) 914-5373 and we will help you decide.
Is there a walk-in women’s health clinic in Bolingbrook?
Yes. Our clinic at 148 S Bolingbrook Dr sees women’s health walk-ins every day of the week. Doors open at 8 AM and close at 8 PM, and no appointment is needed. Urine testing happens on site, and we offer confidential testing for common STIs.
Can I get a pregnancy test at urgent care?
Phone us first to find out whether a pregnancy test can be added to your visit. Home urine tests are reliable once your period is late: MedlinePlus puts their accuracy at 97 to 99 percent a week or two after the missed period. In early pregnancy, bleeding or one-sided cramping needs a same-day call to your doctor, and severe belly pain or fainting means call 911.
Do you do Pap smears?
Ask us by phone before your visit so you know whether it can include a Pap test. The CDC advises starting at age 21. Women 21 to 64 with no insurance, or with a plan that leaves out cervical screening, may qualify for a free one through the Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program, which serves Will and DuPage counties through VNA Health Care.
Is Pioneer Physicians an OB-GYN office?
No. We are a walk-in urgent care clinic that also offers women’s health visits, STD testing and primary care. Prenatal care belongs with an OB-GYN, family doctor or midwife. If you live in Will County and have no OB-GYN, the county’s community health center offers prenatal visits at its main Joliet office; call 815-727-8670.
Where can I get STD screening near Downers Grove?
Our Bolingbrook clinic is about a 16-minute drive from Downers Grove, and you can walk in for STI testing on any day we are open. Your results stay confidential. A few come back the same day, while an outside lab processes the others. You can use insurance or pay for the visit yourself; call for current self-pay pricing.
Can urgent care treat a UTI the same day?
Yes. We run a urinalysis while you’re here, and the provider weighs it with your symptoms and exam before choosing treatment. Tell us first if you could be pregnant. Fever, chills, side or back pain, or vomiting can mean a kidney infection, so don’t wait. If vomiting keeps you from holding down fluids, head to the ER.
Do you accept Medicaid for women’s health visits?
Yes. We take Illinois Medicaid coverage through HFS and through the YouthCare, Molina, CountyCare and Meridian plans. Medicare, Humana, Cigna, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois are accepted too. Coverage details vary, so call to confirm your specific plan ahead of time, and bring the insurance card and a photo ID.
Can I come in on a Sunday or after 8 PM?
Sundays, yes. Weekend hours match weekdays: 8 AM to 8 PM, and walk-ins are welcome. We don’t stay open overnight. Once we close, the booking page lets you reserve a time for the next day. Heavy bleeding, fainting or severe pain can’t wait for morning, so call 911 or go to the nearest ER.
