What is a family clinic, exactly?
A family clinic is a practice built to care for the whole family across every stage of life, from young children to older adults. The American Academy of Family Physicians describes family medicine as the specialty that provides “continuous, comprehensive health care for individuals, families and communities across their entire lifespan”. In plain terms, one place you can bring your whole household, whether it’s a sick toddler, a teen who needs a sports physical, or a parent managing an ongoing health concern.
Total Health Urgent Care works as a family clinic in that broad sense. It combines walk-in urgent care for sudden illness and minor injuries with primary and preventive care you’d normally see a family doctor for. You can learn more about the ongoing side of that care on our primary care page.
Family clinic, urgent care, or the ER: which do you need?
Here’s the short version. A family clinic and urgent care handle everyday illnesses, minor injuries, and routine checkups. The ER is there for the truly serious, life-threatening stuff. For any medical emergency, like serious bleeding, trouble breathing, chest pain, or signs of a stroke, call 911 or head to the closest ER right away.

The nice part about Total Health is that the family clinic and urgent care live in the same building, so you don’t have to guess which door to walk through for a non-emergency. Our urgent care page has more on what we treat.
Can one clinic really care for my whole family?
Yes! Total Health Urgent Care sees patients of all ages, from little ones to seniors. That means a single trip can cover a child’s earache, a teenager’s sports physical, and an adult’s follow-up visit. On-site X-ray and a lab give you same-visit results for a lot of common problems, so you’re not driving across the coast to a separate imaging center or waiting days to hear back.
Bringing the family to one familiar place isn’t just convenient. Seeing the same practice over time builds a health history the staff actually knows, which is the whole point of primary care.
What should you look for in a family clinic near Biloxi?
A few things separate a genuinely useful family clinic from a name on a sign. Look for broad age range, real hours, transparent pricing, and continuity, meaning you can keep coming back to the same team.
That last one matters more than most people realize. A large registry study of more than 4.5 million people, published in the British Journal of General Practice, found that patients who stayed with the same personal physician for more than 15 years had roughly 25% lower mortality, about 28% fewer acute hospital admissions, and around 30% fewer out-of-hours emergency visits than those who had kept the same doctor for only a year. Consistent care isn’t just comfortable, it’s linked to better outcomes.
Here’s how Total Health measures up on those criteria:
- All ages: kids through seniors, illness and injury plus primary care
- Real hours: 7 days a week, 7am to 7pm, so evenings and weekends are covered
- Transparent pricing: posted self-pay rates, no surprise bill after the fact
- One roof: everything together, from walk-in care and primary care to imaging, lab work, and IV therapy
Do family clinics take walk-ins?
Some do, some don’t. Traditional family-doctor offices usually run on appointments and close by late afternoon. Total Health was built the other way around. Stop in any evening or weekend during clinic hours and you’ll be seen, no appointment on the calendar. That flexibility is a real help for working parents and anyone whose schedule doesn’t line up with a 9-to-5 office.
How much does a visit cost without insurance?
Total Health keeps self-pay pricing simple and posts it right up front. Expect $130 for an office visit, $75 for an X-ray, and no charge at all for school or sports physicals. Got insurance? The clinic takes most major plans and bills them directly. Every posted rate is listed on our pricing and insurance page.
Seeing the cost up front takes the guesswork out of a clinic visit, especially for families watching a budget.
