Is our urgent care open now?
We are open every day of the week from 8 AM to 8 PM, weekends included, and walk-ins are welcome. Holiday hours are not listed here, so call (630) 914-5373 before you come in on a holiday.
You don’t need an appointment. Walk in, or save your spot online before you leave home. After 8 PM, the booking page shows next-day times, so you can plan a morning visit. If the problem can’t wait until morning, use the after-hours steps below.
Urgent care open weekends and evenings, 7 days a week
Our hours are the same Monday through Sunday: 8 AM to 8 PM, so there is no short Saturday or early Sunday close to plan around. When your doctor’s office is closed for the weekend, you don’t have to wait until Monday for a sore throat, an earache or a twisted ankle.
We have X-ray every day we are open, weekends included, with splints and crutches, so a Saturday sports injury can be imaged and supported in one trip. Rapid strep, flu and COVID tests, urinalysis and EKG are done on site. Blood is drawn here and sent to an outside lab. We do not have CT or MRI.
Our pediatric urgent care sees children from infancy through the teen years, which helps when a fever starts on a Sunday afternoon. Commercial drivers can also get DOT physicals 7 days a week from a certified medical examiner listed on the FMCSA National Registry.

Evening urgent care after work or school
On weekday evenings we stay open until 8 PM, so a visit can fit in after work or once the kids are home from school. No appointment is needed.
Evening visits suit the same problems as daytime ones. MedlinePlus, from the National Library of Medicine, lists colds, flu, earaches, sore throats, low-grade fevers, limited rashes, sprains and minor broken bones among the problems an urgent care clinic can handle. It suggests urgent care when a problem is not life threatening but you can’t see your own doctor soon enough.
If you already know you’re coming, save your spot online in the afternoon. Bring a photo ID, your insurance card and a list of the medicines you take. For a child, write down what medicine you gave at home and when.

Walk-ins are welcome every day, and in the evening our booking page shows next-day times.
Is there a 24-hour urgent care in Bolingbrook?
Our clinic is not open 24 hours. We close at 8 PM every night. For care in the middle of the night, a hospital emergency department is the place that stays open: the American College of Emergency Physicians notes that emergency departments are open 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
The nearest hospital emergency room to our clinic is at UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Bolingbrook, 500 Remington Boulevard, Bolingbrook, IL 60440. It is about 2 miles from us by way of Bolingbrook Drive and Remington Boulevard. The hospital says its emergency room cares for patients of every age, 24 hours a day.
What to do after 8 PM
For an emergency, call 911. Otherwise, the right next step after we close depends on how serious the problem is.
If it can wait until morning
Book a next-day visit online. In the evening, our booking page shows times for the next day, so you can pick one before bed. We open at 8 AM.
If you are not sure it can wait
Call your regular doctor’s office. MedlinePlus explains that when the office is closed, your call may be forwarded to a nurse or another provider on call. Your health insurance company may also offer a nurse advice line, so check its website or your member card.
If someone swallowed or breathed in something harmful
Call Poison Help at 1-800-222-1222. MedlinePlus explains that this national number reaches your local poison control center from anywhere in the United States, and that the call is free, confidential and answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Illinois Poison Center says to call 911 if the person is unconscious or having trouble breathing.
If someone is in a mental health crisis
Call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, which offers support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If someone has attempted suicide, call 911 right away and stay with the person.
When a child gets sick at night
Some symptoms in children should not wait until morning. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises calling your child’s doctor right away when a fever comes with any of these:
- Age under 3 months with a temperature of 100.4°F (38.0°C) or higher
- Looking very ill, unusually drowsy or very fussy
- A stiff neck, severe headache, severe sore throat, severe ear pain or trouble breathing
- An unexplained rash, or repeated vomiting or diarrhea
- A seizure, or a temperature that rises above 104°F (40°C) again and again
Going tonight or waiting for morning
MedlinePlus says to go to the ER or call 911 if your child has trouble breathing, is suddenly hard to wake or confused, or shows signs of dehydration such as a dry mouth, no tears or no wet diapers in 18 hours.
The AAP calls it a good sign when a child plays and interacts with you after medicine for discomfort. If that describes your child and none of the warning signs apply, book a morning visit. Read more on our fever page.
