Do we have a clinic in your town?
No. We have one location, and it’s in Bolingbrook. The town pages linked below explain how to reach it from each community, but none of them is a separate office. Every in-person visit happens at 148 S Bolingbrook Dr.
People searching for immediate care near me or a walk-in clinic want what we provide: a same-day visit, no booking required, for a sickness or injury that needs attention soon but isn’t putting a life at risk. MedlinePlus, the U.S. National Library of Medicine’s consumer site, recommends urgent care when your own provider can’t see you soon enough and the problem isn’t life threatening or likely to cause a disability.
You don’t need a Bolingbrook address to be seen here. People who live in Bolingbrook can find directions and local details on our page about walk-in immediate care in Bolingbrook.
Urgent care near Bolingbrook, town by town
From the center of each town on our list, the drive takes about 10 to 18 minutes. These are road-routing estimates that assume no traffic. Every route ends on IL 53, which is called Bolingbrook Drive inside Bolingbrook. Six of the towns reach it on local roads, while drivers from Plainfield, Darien and Lemont use I-55 and leave at the IL 53 exit.
Romeoville and Lockport, north on IL 53
Romeoville is the closest town on the list, about 4 miles and 10 minutes away. Independence Boulevard carries IL 53 north out of the village and turns into South Bolingbrook Drive.
Downtown Lockport is about 8.6 miles and 17 minutes out. The route takes 9th Street (IL 7) to Independence Boulevard, then stays on IL 53 through Romeoville.
Plainfield, by way of I-55
From downtown Plainfield, the trip is just under 10 miles and about 15 minutes. Main Street, which carries IL 126, runs east to I-55. Take the interstate north toward Chicago and exit at IL 53, a little under a mile from the clinic.
Woodridge, Lisle, Downers Grove and Naperville, south on IL 53
Woodridge is about 5 miles and 11 minutes north of us, and most drives use 75th Street to reach IL 53. From the center of Lisle, IL 53 runs south almost the whole way, about 7.6 miles and 14 minutes.
Downers Grove is about 9 miles and 16 minutes away, with local streets such as 63rd Street and Hobson Road leading to IL 53. Downtown Naperville is the longest drive on the list, about 9.5 miles and 18 minutes. The usual path follows Washington Street south to 75th Street, then 75th east to IL 53. South Naperville is closer.
Darien and Lemont, by way of I-55
From Darien, Cass Avenue leads south to I-55, and the expressway brings you southwest to the IL 53 exit. Plan on about 8 miles and 14 minutes.
Lemont looks closer on a map than it is by road. Lemont Road takes you north to I-55, then the expressway heads southwest to IL 53, about 8 miles and 14 minutes from downtown.

Timing your drive around our hours
We’re open every day from 8 AM to 8 PM, and walk-ins are welcome with no appointment. Weekend hours don’t change: Saturday and Sunday run 8 AM to 8 PM too.
Rush hour on I-55 or IL 53 can add minutes to the estimates above, especially from the far end of the list, like downtown Naperville or Lockport. To plan around traffic, you can save your spot online from home, then drive over.
We aren’t a 24-hour clinic. In the evening, the booking page starts showing next-day times, so you can claim a slot for tomorrow before bed. Pack a photo ID, any insurance card you carry, and the names of medicines you take.
Driving in from a nearby town
Save your spot online before you leave home, or walk in any day at 148 S Bolingbrook Dr with no appointment.
What we treat and test once you get here
We treat adults and children, including babies and teens, for illnesses and minor injuries that shouldn’t wait. Common tests are done in our building, so one trip often covers the whole problem:
- X-ray on site any day we’re open, with splints and crutches stocked for injuries
- Rapid strep, flu and COVID tests
- Urinalysis and EKG
- Blood draws, with samples sent to an outside lab and results coming later
- STD testing for common STIs, kept confidential, with some results ready the same day
Other visits at the same clinic
We don’t do CT or MRI scans. Commercial drivers can have a DOT physical done 7 days a week by a certified medical examiner whose name is on the FMCSA National Registry. Parents bring kids in for pediatric urgent care and for sports, school and annual physicals, and we also provide primary care. The full list of services also includes medical weight loss, IV hydration therapy, peptide therapy, telehealth visits, women’s health visits, asthma treatment, allergy testing and flu shots.
Where to get childhood vaccines in your county
Routine childhood shots aren’t something we give. For those, see your child’s pediatrician or family doctor, or your county health department. The towns on this page sit mainly in three counties, so the right department depends on where your home is.
The 2025 population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau place Romeoville, Lockport and nearly all of Bolingbrook in Will County, along with most of Plainfield (a small part of Plainfield is in Kendall County). Darien, Lisle, Downers Grove and nearly all of Woodridge are in DuPage County. Naperville is split, with about two-thirds of its residents in DuPage and one-third in Will. Almost everyone in Lemont lives in Cook County.
- Will County: children and adults who live in Will County can get vaccines from the Will County Health Department in Joliet, Bolingbrook or Monee. Appointments are booked at 815-740-8143, and the department says it tries to fit in walk-ins too.
- DuPage County: childhood vaccines are given at the Wheaton, Westmont and Lombard offices of the DuPage County Health Department through the Vaccines for Children program. Kids qualify if they’re uninsured, if their insurance doesn’t cover vaccines, or if they’re eligible for Medicaid. Clinic times are available at 630-682-7400.
- Cook County: Lemont is one of the suburbs on the Cook County Department of Public Health’s service list, and that department’s website links to its vaccine clinic locations.
Insurance works the same from any town
Where you live doesn’t change which plans we take. Our accepted list covers Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, Medicare, Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna and Aetna. Illinois Medicaid plans are on it too: HFS, YouthCare, Molina, Meridian and CountyCare. Coverage depends on your exact plan and network, so check your specific plan with us at (630) 914-5373 before the drive.
If you have no insurance or would rather not use it, self-pay works too. Your bill is the visit itself plus whatever tests you need, like an X-ray or a strep swab. Phone us for current self-pay pricing, and our self-pay page walks through the details.
Coming from a town that isn’t listed here
You’re welcome here from any town, even one without its own page. By the same routing estimates, Burr Ridge is about 16 minutes away and Westmont about 19. Homer Glen takes about 21 minutes, central Joliet about 25 and downtown Aurora a little over half an hour.
From that far out, booking a time online before you leave lets you plan the drive. If symptoms are getting worse fast, go to the nearest hospital emergency room or call 911 rather than making a long drive to urgent care.

Questions and answers
Questions we hear often
Still not sure? Call (630) 914-5373 and we will help you decide.
Is there a Pioneer Physicians urgent care in Romeoville?
No. We have just the one clinic, at 148 S Bolingbrook Dr, roughly 10 minutes up IL 53 from central Romeoville. If you’re looking for immediate care in Romeoville, you can walk in here any day, no appointment needed. Our Romeoville page covers the route and local details for Romeoville families.
Do I have to live in Bolingbrook to be seen?
No. Patients come to us from all over the area, and there’s no residency rule. If you aren’t sure whether we take your plan, give us a call at (630) 914-5373 before heading over. Without insurance, you can choose self-pay.
How do I find the closest urgent care near me?
If you’re in one of the nine towns on this page, our Bolingbrook clinic is a 10 to 18 minute drive without traffic. Whichever clinic you pick, check that it will still be open when you arrive, that it takes your insurance and that it has X-ray on site if a bone might be broken.
Where can I get COVID testing in Bolingbrook?
Right here. Rapid COVID testing is done during the visit, and so are rapid flu and strep tests, so you can come in with symptoms and get tested that day. Walk in any day with no appointment, or hold a spot online first. For severe trouble breathing or chest pain, call 911 instead.
Do you offer STD testing for people near Romeoville?
Yes. Testing happens at our Bolingbrook clinic, roughly 10 minutes by car from central Romeoville. We check for common STIs, and your visit stays confidential. Some results come back that day. Other samples are sent to an outside lab, so those answers arrive later. Insurance and self-pay both work, and calling (630) 914-5373 gets you current self-pay pricing.
Do you offer preventive care and checkups?
Yes. Besides urgent care, we provide primary care and annual physicals, and students can get sports and school physicals here. Childhood vaccinations aren’t offered, so kids’ routine shots should come from their usual doctor or the county health department. To set up a checkup, call (630) 914-5373.
Are you open on weekends and evenings?
Yes. Weekends run on the weekday schedule, so Saturday and Sunday hours are 8 AM to 8 PM. Walk-ins are welcome on weekends too, and we aren’t open 24 hours. After closing, the online booking page lets you reserve a next-day visit. For an emergency, call 911 at any hour.
