Urgent care in Tampa, FL
Tampa is the county seat, and both of Hillsborough County's trauma centers are here: Tampa General Hospital on Davis Islands and St. Joseph's Hospital in West Tampa. Walk-in clinics run from Tampa Heights and Channelside down to South Tampa and up to New Tampa, but traffic on I-275 and Dale Mabry Highway can add time to any trip. If it's a sinus infection, pink eye or a minor burn, an MD Care clinician can see you by video instead, usually within a few hours.
$50 a video visit, or use your Medicare. You must be physically located in Florida at the time of your visit.
