Welcome to urgent care in La Plata
When you need convenient medical care for an illness or injury that is not life-threatening, or if you need a flu shot or a physical, MedStar Health Urgent Care is here for you. Walk-in visits are always welcome, but an online check-in is recommended.
If you are experiencing a life-threatening medical emergency, call 9-1-1 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Our team of providers diagnose and treat non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries for patients of all ages. We have laboratory testing available on-site for common illnesses (strep, mono, influenza, and urinary infection). If your condition needs further testing such as blood tests or cultures, we will have most results in 48-72 hours. Some advanced testing for serious illnesses may require a referral to a nearby hospital’s emergency department.
