I visited the Clinic on 12/28/19. My wait time was minimal. Staff very friendly and willing to help me in any way. I saw Jason Crisp. He was kind friendly cheerful and very willing to listen patiently of my symptoms. He preformed a thorough examination. Mr. Crisp diagnosed me with Sinus Infection and Bronchitis. He called me in some prescriptions to the Pharmacy of my choice. Thank you, Jason, for your expertise in Diagnosis and Treatment. Feeling much better today. First Care is truly First in the health and Care for their patients.

Urgent Care FAQs

  • How much will an urgent care visit in Clarksville cost?

    The price charged at an urgent care, whether in Clarksville or elsewhere, will be based on the location, and there are no actual standard costs between the clinics. Assuming you are paying with cash, you might come across an urgent clinic that charges you $50 while another situated some mile away charges you $100 for the same services. The standard cost in urgent care where insurance cover is not involved ranges from $100 to $125. This price is generally the standard price of a visit before extra services. There are a couple of additional care services that could make your appointment to an urgent care costly including x-rays and lab tests, medications and injections (such as immunization), casting broken bones, as well as stitches and splints. If you have a viable insurance plan in place, the standard pay will be between $20 – 50 depending on your insurance coverage and whether you are in contact with the provider.

  • Are Clarksville urgent care centers open after hours?

    Most primary care doctor offices are open during routine work hours, Monday thru Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Conversely, most of the urgent care centers in Clarksville are available after hours, on weekends, and many holidays. Typical urgent care hours are 8:00 am to 8:00 pm daily, although location-specific hours may vary. 

  • Do urgent care centers in Clarksville take appointments?

    Historically, urgent care centers were strictly an on-demand, walk-in healthcare service mode. More recently, as consumer behaviors and expectations have evolved, many urgent care clinics have begun offering book ahead visits, allowing consumers to select a same-day or next-day time that works best for their schedule. Use Solv to find a Clarksville urgent care center that offers advanced bookings (or appointments) and book online.

  • How do I book an appointment online with an urgent care in Clarksville?

    Solv allows Clarksville residents and visitors to book urgent care visits online with just a few taps. Same-day and next-day visit times are generally available, and you can search for real-time availability clinics.

  • How can I find an urgent care in Clarksville who takes my insurance?

    Solv allows you to find any of the urgent care and walk-in clinics in Clarksville, many of which accept most major commercial insurances. Just browse the clinics page to see if your carrier and plan is listed. If you are still unsure, it is best to contact the urgent care center directly for clarification.

  • Do Clarksville urgent care centers offer virtual visits or telemedicine?

    Many urgent care centers, including those in Clarksville, now offer virtual visits or telemedicine for residents and visitors throughout the state. Virtual urgent care visits are generally booked online whether in advance or on-demand. Clinics that do offer virtual care have a video icon on their profiles.

  • What is the best urgent care center in Clarksville?

    While it would be easy to provide a list of urgent care centers in and around Clarksville, 'best' is a challenging term to qualify. For some consumers, that could mean the closest location whereas other people may prioritize patient reviews, service costs, availability, or whether or not the provider accepts their insurance. With the list of locations above, use the filters provided to narrow the results to find the best urgent care for your needs.

  • What is urgent care?

    Urgent care are available to assist patients that are looking for immediate, convenient medical care. In that manner, they are similar to an emergency room. The difference, however, is that ERs are meant to treat major, life-threatening injuries and illnesses while urgent care centers manage life’s minor bruises and bumps. In simple terms, an urgent care is seen as a walk-in health center that focuses in offering non-emergent health care conditions, including the treatment of the typical illnesses and injuries such as fractures and sprains, cuts and burns, scrapes, stings and bites, flu and cold symptoms, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, and much more. Most urgent care facilities offer both diagnostic and preventive care such as well visits, immunizations, STD testing and annual physicals. For regular visits and check-ups on these clinics, you should expect to pay between $20 and $100. The good thing is that most urgent care clinics will accept major PPOs and insurance cover, Medicare, as well as self-pay in the form of credit cards or cash. Urgent care clinics are located in most parts of the country in various regions to offset emergency room visits and provide a gap in healthcare services. They take patients during all hours of operations, which offer a significant convenience to most people who have and continue to undergo the need for sudden and immediate medical attention.

Really good experience they understood my pain and helped me . Lots of places dismiss me but urgent care took the time out to really help me and I couldn’t be more thankful.

- Verified patient on 5/13

Think it’s the best urgent care in town. The procedure of waiting in the car and doing forms by phone made me feel very safe. I have a 5 year old of course not Covid vaccinated yet so that was a really nice bonus of distancing. We had an hour wait but hanging out in the car we had snacks and watched movies so it didn’t feel that bad. Also the other urgent cares in the area are even longer wait times. The office was impeccable in terms of cleanliness. Our np ms. Scarlett was awesome, very friendly, easy to talk to, and very full of advice. Thank you for a great experience.

- Verified patient on 9/28

Ascension Saint Thomas Urgent Care provides some of the best care to patients who seek medical treatment. They cover a wide range of services and very convenient of your PCP is booked. From check in to walking out, all the staff members was friendly and assisted all patients with their medical needs. No long wait times, and followed CDC guidelines for COVID-19.

- Verified patient on 12/29

I went to Urgent Team for an infected toe that was previously mistreated by another urgent care center following an accident at home. They failed to clean it properly and provide antibiotics. When I was seen at Urgent Team, what was going on was explained in detail, different options were given, I was prescribed antibiotics, and the toe was cleaned and re-wrapped. Tiffanie was a fantastic PA and made me feel really confident!

- Verified patient on 7/13

The Nurse on staff Scarlett is top notch, she took care of my son and made sure that he received the best of care. Now that we know what’s going on with my son, we can continue his care with his primary. This is hands down the only urgent care we’ll visit. Thanks again

- Verified patient on 11/27

I was very happy with the “save my spot” feature which resulted in a very short wait time. The staff was friendly and informative. This will definitely be my go-to place for my family’s urgent care needs.

- Verified patient on 3/1

My son had been misdiagnosed with a common cold by two providers before I brought him in for a 3rd opinion because he was not getting better and his symptoms were getting worse. The curgent care team infact verified that it was in fact a sinus infection after all. They were thorough and very kind to my lil man.

- Verified patient on 1/31

My experience was fantastic!! Very professional and I felt like I was in great hands!! I was nervous about going to an urgent care (my 1st experience) but this will be my 1st place if I need health care immediately!!

This my go to for issues that can't wait for an appointment with my primary care physician, but not an emergency. It's more convenient distance wise, and always professional, friendly, and time efficient. Very pleased with this Urgent Care facility.

- Verified patient on 7/29

This was our first experience with St. Thomas urgent care and would not hestate to use them again. My wife and are are both seniors. The staff was very accomodating and the nurse and the doctor we saw were friendly, professional and with great bedside manner. We were very relaxed there.

- Verified patient on 9/2

This was my first trip to the Urgent Care. Being a walk-in facility and in the middle of this Covid nightmare, there were a lot of walk ins, so naturally the wait time was proportional. The staff, service and facility was exceptional, friendly and very attentive. I highly recommend the Ascension St Thomas Urgent Care Facility.

- Verified patient on 8/20

This was our first time visiting this urgent care. I needed stitches in my hand and they did a wonderful job! Everyone was very friendly and the wait wasn’t as bad as I had anticipated. All the paperwork was done on my phone after I checked in so that was great too. Hopefully I won’t have to return but if I need to I know I’ll be in good hands. I would recommend this office.

- Verified patient on 9/18

My nurse who took my vitals was amazing, and Scarlet was great and described everything I needed to know, made me feel relief of stress when I was in pain. Best Urgent Care I have ever been too. Very organized and clean.

- Verified patient on 6/3

I've been a walk in patient twice at Urgent Care and couldn't have been treated better. My start at front desk was as pleasant as medical visit. When needing care at 65 years of age and treated so well, it's very comforting.

Getting Urgent Care in Clarksville, TN

Urgent care in Clarksville is your best option for non-life threatening, quality medical care when you need it. Many urgent care centers in Clarksville offer walk-in appointments during extended hours and on weekends. Solv even has clinic partners in the Clarksville-area that offer online scheduling, allowing you to book a visit convenient to your schedule and skip the wait.

Walk-in clinics provide a convenient, fast alternative to emergency rooms—even primary care providers—treating minor injuries and illnesses including strep throat, infections, cold and flu symptoms, allergies, rashes, burns, bites, and more. Additionally, most offer preventative care including annual well exams, lab testing, and vaccinations.

When you’re in need of medical care for a non-life threatening condition, trust the urgent care providers nearby. And whenever possible, make it easier by scheduling and managing your visit with Solv.

A Patient's Guide to Urgent Care

In a recent survey conducted with the Urgent Care Association, Solv found that patients were waiting an average of 24 days for appointments with their primary care provider. In a world of instant gratification, consumers demand more. They demand now. If you want to watch a movie, you download it in minutes or stream it instantly. If you need groceries, you can pick up your phone and have them delivered to you within the hour. If you need restaurant reservations, you find one with availability, book online, walk in minutes later and sit right down. Healthcare shouldn’t be any different.

That’s why urgent care has been growing at a faster pace than any other healthcare service in the United States. And it is why healthcare consumers search for “urgent care” more than 5x more than “primary care” or “family doctor,” combined. These consumers are highly actionable, searching with high intent terms like “urgent care near me.” They want same day access to quality healthcare providers when they are sick or injured - after hours, one weekends and on holidays - without the cost and inconvenience of the emergency room.

Urgent care centers typically treat minor illnesses like the flu, sinus infections and strep throat, as well as injuries like bone fractures and sprains, cuts, scrapes and burns, making these clinics ideal for diagnosing and treating non-emergent healthcare needs. And at a growing rate urgent care clinics are offering preventative care services including annual physicals and well visits, flu shots and other immunizations and vaccines, taking on the role of primary care provider for the tens of millions of consumers that don’t have one.

For kids there are special pediatric urgent care centers, usually open after hours for patients between the ages of 1 and 18.

Urgent Care Services & Pricing

Urgent care centers, which are part of the walk-in clinic healthcare category, are a convenient resource for consumers needing treatment for minor illnesses and injuries. Services that you would normally receive at your primary care office are usually available at an urgent care including annual and school physicals, flu shots and immunizations, treatment for illnesses including colds, flu stomach pains, sinus and ear infections and more. You can also be seen for injuries such as burns, bites, sprains and breaks - things that you might first thing to go to the emergency room vs urgent care, but you’ll have a shorter wait and smaller bill at the urgent care. As for cost, without insurance, you should expect between $100-140 for your visit, plus the cost of any labs, tests or images. With insurance, urgent care will be similar to seeing a specialist with applicable co-pay.

Insurance & Payments

Nearly all urgent care centers take commercial insurance and many (if not most) will take medicare. As such if you have insurance coverage, you can expect the financial experience to be similar to visiting a specialist where you have a co-pay, usually $35-50, due at the time of the visit. Any additional lab work, x-rays or other tests performed will be billed against your insurance first and any supplemental balance due will be invoiced to you after the fact. Without insurance, you’ll pay a visit fee between $100-140 at the time of your visit. This is typically 25-50% more than your primary care provider, but usually the convenience is well worth the additional cost. If you are interested in a telehealth or video visit, your cost could be as much as 50% less than an urgent care, you could be diagnosed and prescribed medication and you’ll never have to leave your home.

    Urgent Care Hours & Wait Times

    Every urgent care center - even those part of the same group or brand - may have different hours. While they are meant to be conveniently accessible during times when your primary care provider is not, that’s subjective and highly variable. A traditional formula, however, is that an urgent care is open 6 to 7 days a week usually between the hours of 8 am to 8 pm. That could shift to nearly any 8-12 hour period between 7 am and 10 pm. You’ll even find some clinics open 24 hours a day, similar to an emergency room. As for wait time, most patients report waiting between 15-45 minutes on average, but that can certainly vary, as well. It’s usually best to find an urgent care near you to either confirm the hours online, or call the clinic directly to verify. Or, you can book a same day doctor appointment online with Solv.
