My name is Christina Joyner I am the owner and the nurse practitioner at Marshall Urgemt Care. I wanted to write-in response to lady that stated her daughter was turned away. First, I am truly sorry that you were disrespected in any form or fashion by any of my staff. If I knew who it was, I can promise you it would be addressed. Disrespect on any level is not tolerated. Second, I'm so truly sorry your precious daughter was turned away. I am normally the only practitioner in the office. I see as many patients as I possibly can. I do have to turn people away, but it's because I just can't see them all. I do not have a limit of 30 a day. I don't feel that is right. So my mission and goal everyday is to see as many as I can and still provide thorough and adequate care without putting anyone at risk. I struggle every day with turning people away because I'm not in it for the money. If I was, I would take everybody and see them and not worry about providing adequate and thorough care. I am very sympathetic with having a sick child. I pray your daughter got the care she needed. If you would like to talk to me, please please call me. The office number is 662-274-3218 My email is [email protected] I really hope you reach out to me because I want you to understand who I am, the care I provide and the love and passion I have for taking care of everyone that I possibly can. Best regards, Tina Joyner

While I cannot speak for everyone at the clinic, this review is for Dr Dabbs, Dr Coon, and Rachel Sledge. For more than a decade, this urgent care has been my go to for most illnesses, injuries, and referrals. I highly respect all three of these professionals, and I don't believe I have ever been let down by them for any reason. Level of care has been excellent, and (at least what I get billed for after insurance) has been far more reasonable than almost any other medical facility I have dealt with. While the wait time can be slightly challenging, this is offset by the Drs being patient and answering any questions that might arise. I have never once, for any reason, felt rushed when it comes to treatment, and two separate times that thoroughness found a different underlying issue to what symptoms presented. The staff has always been friendly and courteous, and while it is not the fanciest of surroundings, or wait area, it is clean with more than enough comfortable seating. I would recommend this clinic, and in particular these three professionals, with enthusiasm and trust in their abilities.

Urgent Care FAQs

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

    The price charged at an urgent care, whether in Myrtle 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 Myrtle 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 Myrtle 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 Myrtle 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 Myrtle urgent care center that offers advanced bookings (or appointments) and book online.

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

    Solv allows Myrtle 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 Myrtle who takes my insurance?

    Solv allows you to find any of the urgent care and walk-in clinics in Myrtle, 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 Myrtle urgent care centers offer virtual visits or telemedicine?

    Many urgent care centers, including those in Myrtle, 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 Myrtle?

    While it would be easy to provide a list of urgent care centers in and around Myrtle, '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.

- Verified patient on 6/10

I went to the Magee clinic at 3:40. I was told that I couldn’t be seen because they were closing at 4:00. So, I went to another urgent care clinic. After waiting an hour in the parking lot, I decided to try telehealth. 3 minutes later, I was speaking with the provider, Ms. Touchstone. She was awesome.

- Verified patient on 5/30

I came because I needed care and did not see that Allegro would be open when I looked at 1st thing this morning but that Urgent care would. I made an appointment for 10 a.m. by the app which I love but was very disappointed in the wait time. I waited in waiting room for over an hour!! I did not leave until after 12:33 although that was the time that was discharged time on the message I received. I went to the restroom before leaving. The hand soap dispenser was off the wall, no soap and the paper towel dispenser was empty with the huge roll of towels on the counter by the faucet so there was little elimination of germs in the bathroom today. The receptionist kept leaving the desk I guess to help in the back because they were so swapped and didn’t seem to have enough staff since the NP was the one that swabbed me for COVID instead of her nurse. No on was at the desk when I left so I guess they had all they needed for a payment to be made 🤷‍♀️

- Verified patient on 11/28

Ms. Bowens was exceptional. I find that my follow-up visit was as expected in keeping my health normal. I will visit again. I don’t know if wait time was separated from appointment times being that it is an urgent care. Yes I would recommend. I have been served by both staff members and I accept the treatment that was done. I have insurance, so no problem for me.

- Verified patient on 9/22

Getting Urgent Care in Myrtle, MS

Urgent care in Myrtle is your best option for non-life threatening, quality medical care when you need it. Many urgent care centers in Myrtle offer walk-in appointments during extended hours and on weekends. Solv even has clinic partners in the Myrtle-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.
