How far is Bolingbrook from Lemont?
Our clinic is about 8 miles and 14 minutes by car from downtown Lemont, based on road-routing data that assumes no traffic. Downtown Lemont and our clinic are less than 4 miles apart in a straight line. The fastest route heads north first, though, so the drive is roughly double that distance.
From downtown, take State Street north. It turns into Lemont Road and crosses the Des Plaines River. Stay on Lemont Road up to I-55 and take I-55 South. Leave the expressway at exit 267 for IL 53 and Bolingbrook, then turn right onto Bolingbrook Drive and go less than a mile to 148 S Bolingbrook Dr. Rush-hour traffic on I-55 can stretch the trip, so check a map app before you leave.
Immediate care and walk-in clinic care near Lemont
Urgent care, immediate care and walk-in clinic are three names for the same kind of visit: same-day care for an illness or injury that is not life-threatening, with no appointment. That is what we offer, from one location in Bolingbrook.
You can simply walk in. If you would rather hold a place first, save your spot online and then make the drive. The trip usually makes sense when your regular doctor is closed or booked, on a Saturday or Sunday, or when an injury may need an X-ray the same day.

Urgent care near Lemont for adults and kids

- Pink eye and skin rashes
- Sprains, strains and possible broken bones

Other care at the same clinic
The same Bolingbrook office also offers primary care, DOT physicals, STD testing, telehealth visits, flu shots, allergy testing, women’s health visits, medical weight loss, IV hydration therapy and peptide therapy.
X-ray and rapid tests in the same visit
Every day we are open, we can take an X-ray on site. We keep splints and crutches here too, so a twisted ankle or sore wrist can be checked and supported without a separate imaging appointment. Our walk-in X-ray page explains how it works.
Rapid strep, flu and COVID tests, urinalysis and EKG are done during the visit. If you need blood work, we draw it here and send it to an outside lab. We do not have CT or MRI. Those scans are done at a hospital or an imaging center.

School and sports physicals for Lemont students
We do school and sports physicals. Check your child’s school forms first, because the grade and the sport decide what paperwork you need.
Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A asks for a physical and immunization records for preschool, kindergarten, sixth grade and students new to the district. Its health office says physicals and immunizations must be on file by October 15 of the school year, or the student is excluded under district policy. Kindergarten also needs dental and eye exam forms, which are separate from the physical.
The district also requires a sports physical for any student on an athletic team and counts it as good for 395 days from the exam date. If it runs out during the season, the student needs a new one.
Illinois requires a health exam on the state Certificate of Child Health Examination when a student enters sixth grade and ninth grade. That means freshmen at Lemont High School (District 210, 800 Porter Street) need one as well. Bring the school’s form and your child’s immunization record. Our school and sports physicals page has the rest of the list.
Where Lemont children get routine vaccines
We do not give childhood vaccinations. Routine shots come from your child’s regular doctor or the county health department.
For nearly everyone who lives in the village of Lemont, that county is Cook. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that Lemont had 18,513 residents in July 2025. All but 8 of them live in the Cook County part of the village, with the rest in DuPage and Will counties. The Cook County Department of Public Health lists Lemont among the suburbs it serves, and its website has a page for finding its immunization clinics. Check there for current dates and places.
Insurance, CountyCare and self-pay
We accept Aetna, Cigna, Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, UnitedHealthcare, Humana and Illinois Medicaid plans (HFS, Meridian, CountyCare, Molina and YouthCare). Call (630) 914-5373 to confirm your specific plan before you come.
CountyCare is relevant here because the plan says it is only for HealthChoice Illinois members who live in Cook County, and nearly all of Lemont is in Cook. If you do not have insurance, self-pay is available. The cost is the visit plus any tests you need. Call for current self-pay pricing, or read our self-pay page.
Open every day, but not around the clock
We are open 7 days a week, 8 AM to 8 PM, Saturdays and Sundays included, and walk-ins are welcome. We are not a 24-hour clinic.
If it is after 8 PM in Lemont and the problem can wait, book a visit for the next day online. The booking page shows next-day times in the evening, so you can pick one before bed. If it cannot wait, UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Bolingbrook lists its emergency department as open 24/7. For anything life-threatening, call 911.

Is there an urgent care in Lemont, IL?

Can I use telehealth instead of driving from Lemont?
For some problems, yes. We offer telehealth visits, which can save you the drive when you do not need a hands-on exam. Anything that needs an X-ray, a rapid strep, flu or COVID test, a urine test or an EKG has to be done in person at the clinic. Call (630) 914-5373 to ask whether telehealth fits your concern before you set out.
Do I need an appointment to come from Lemont?
No. Walk-ins are welcome every day. If you want to hold a place before you leave home, you can save your spot online through our booking page and then drive over. Bring a photo ID, your insurance card and a list of the medicines you take.
Can you do my child’s school physical before the District 113A deadline?
Yes. We do school and sports physicals. District 113A asks for physicals and immunization records by October 15 of the school year. Bring the Illinois Certificate of Child Health Examination form and your child’s shot record. We do not give childhood vaccinations, so required shots come from your child’s doctor or the Cook County Department of Public Health.
Do you take CountyCare?
Yes. CountyCare is one of the Illinois Medicaid plans we accept, along with HFS, Meridian, Molina and YouthCare. We also accept Aetna, Cigna, Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, UnitedHealthcare and Humana. Coverage can vary by plan, so call (630) 914-5373 to confirm your specific plan before your visit.
Can I get an X-ray near Lemont without going to a hospital?
Yes. We take X-rays on site every day we are open, and we have splints and crutches if you need them. We do not offer CT or MRI. If an injury looks severe, such as a bone pushing through the skin or a limb that is numb, cold or pale, go to an emergency room or call 911.
Can you see babies and teenagers from Lemont?
Yes. Our pediatric urgent care sees children from infancy through the teen years for illnesses and minor injuries. If a baby or child stops breathing, turns blue or has a seizure lasting 3 minutes or more, call 911. Signs of dehydration, such as no tears or no wet diapers in 18 hours, need an emergency room right away.
