About Urgent Care & Wellness Center
Urgent Care & Wellness Center is an independent urgent care practice serving patients from two locations in Lutz and New Port Richey, Florida. Founded by local healthcare professionals, the practice was established with a simple goal: to create an urgent care practice that puts people first.
We combine the accessibility of modern urgent care with the personal attention often lost in larger healthcare organizations. As an independent practice, we remain closely connected to the communities we serve, creating an experience where patients feel truly welcomed, respected, and cared for.
Our Story
Urgent Care & Wellness Center was founded in August 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic to address a growing need for accessible urgent care and testing services in Lutz. As more patients and families turned to us for care, we expanded to New Port Richey in 2022, bringing the same locally owned, physician-led approach to a second community.
Today, we remain committed to delivering accessible healthcare close to home while staying connected to the people and neighborhoods we serve.
Our Philosophy
Urgent Care & Wellness Center was founded on the belief that healthcare should remain connected to the communities it serves. We believe healthcare is most effective when it is personal, accountable, and rooted in the community.
As an independent, physician-led practice, we have the freedom to focus on patients rather than corporate priorities, allowing care decisions to be guided by what is best for the individual sitting in front of us.
Our leadership team remains actively involved in the practice and deeply connected to the communities we serve. Because we live here, work here, and raise our families here, we understand the needs of our patients and the importance of providing accessible, dependable care close to home.

Why Patients Choose Urgent Care & Wellness Center
Not all urgent care centers offer the same experience. At Urgent Care & Wellness Center, we've combined the convenience patients expect from urgent care with the resources, accessibility, and local accountability that help set us apart.
Getting medical care shouldn't require waiting days for an appointment or rearranging your entire schedule.
We offer the flexibility patients need with walk-in visits, online scheduling, evening hours, and weekend availability. With both locations open seven days a week and extended hours into the evening, patients can access care when it is most convenient for them.
Many healthcare visits involve multiple appointments, referrals, and additional stops before patients get answers. At Urgent Care & Wellness Center, on-site X-rays, EKGs, rapid testing, lab services, and treatment are available under one roof.
Patients can be evaluated, tested, diagnosed, and begin treatment during the same visit. Even common over-the-counter medications are available on-site, making it easier to leave with what is needed to start feeling better.
Healthcare is stressful enough without worrying whether care will be covered. At Urgent Care & Wellness Center, we accept most major insurance plans and offer self-pay options for patients without insurance.
By working with a broad range of insurance providers, we help make quality urgent care accessible to more individuals and families throughout our communities.
When patients need urgent care, access matters. Our team includes multiple providers and support staff working across both locations, allowing us to efficiently care for a high volume of patients while maintaining a personalized experience.
Unlike larger healthcare systems where patients can feel like a number, our providers remain actively involved in patient care and practice operations, helping ensure a more responsive and connected experience.
Recent changes to Florida athletic participation requirements have added new steps for many student-athletes and families. We offer both sports physicals and EKG testing, allowing families to complete requirements in one convenient visit.
Instead of coordinating appointments between multiple offices, students can receive the evaluations they need and get back to preparing for the season ahead.
Access to care is easier when trusted healthcare is close to home. With locations in both Lutz and New Port Richey, patients can choose the clinic that is most convenient for their family, workplace, or daily routine.
Both locations provide the same physician-led approach, comprehensive services, and commitment to delivering timely care when it matters most.
