Need Gautier urgent care with hours that fit a real day? Total Health Urgent Care sits a short drive up Highway 57 in Vancleave, and we welcome walk-ins from Gautier every day, 7am to 7pm, with no appointment needed. That means same-day illness and minor-injury care, on-site X-rays and lab work in one visit, and transparent self-pay pricing so you know the cost before you’re seen.
That mix matters when you’re a Gautier family juggling work, school, and a kid who spiked a fever at 6:30 in the morning. Here’s what we treat, what it costs, and when a walk-in clinic is the right call versus the ER.

Is there an urgent care near Gautier, MS?
Yes. Total Health Urgent Care is right at 12000 Hwy 57 in Vancleave, just north of Gautier on Highway 57, and we see walk-in patients daily from 7am to 7pm. You don’t need an appointment. That early open is handy if you’d rather get seen before the workday, and the 7pm close covers after-school and after-work visits.
Urgent care is often the faster option for everyday problems, too. According to the Urgent Care Association, the average urgent care visit runs about 56 minutes, while the median wait in an emergency room is closer to 150 minutes. For folks in Gautier, that convenient option is right up the highway.
What does urgent care treat?
A walk-in clinic is built for the health problems that can’t wait for a weekday appointment yet don’t rise to the level of an emergency. Think a nagging cough, a sore throat, a fever, an earache, a rash, an upset stomach, a urinary tract infection, or a minor cut, sprain, or possible fracture.
At Total Health Urgent Care we see all of those, plus we offer rapid on-site testing for COVID-19, flu, strep, and RSV, so a sore throat or a fever can be worked up and explained in one stop. We handle both the sudden stuff and routine primary and preventive care under one roof, which means a Gautier family can build a relationship with the same clinic instead of starting over every time.
Here’s a quick look at common reasons Gautier neighbors walk in:
How much does urgent care cost without insurance in Gautier?
Paying out of pocket? Being seen is $130, and add $75 if you need an X-ray. We post those numbers up front, so you’ll know the cost before you walk back, and a student athlete’s physical costs nothing at all. Carry insurance? We take most major plans and handle the billing for you, so you’re covered either way. Our pricing and insurance page lays out every number in one place.
Transparent pricing is one of the reasons Gautier families make the short drive. Knowing the number before you’re seen takes a lot of the stress out of a walk-in visit, especially when you’re paying out of pocket.
Do you take walk-ins, or do I need an appointment?
Walk-ins are welcome every day, and no appointment is needed. Just come in during our hours, 7am to 7pm, seven days a week including weekends. We know illness and injuries don’t wait for a weekday, so neither do we. If you’d like to speed up your check-in, our patient forms are available online before you arrive.
Urgent care or the ER: how do I decide?
Reach for urgent care when it’s everyday illness or a minor injury, and head straight to the ER for anything that looks life-threatening. “Knowing when and where to go in a health emergency can save a life,” Christopher S. Kang, MD, FACEP, said in an American College of Emergency Physicians release on the difference between emergency and urgent care.
Emergency physicians point to a clear set of red flags. The American College of Emergency Physicians names trouble breathing, chest pain, uncontrolled bleeding, seizures, severe abdominal pain, head injuries, a sudden severe headache or dizziness, and sudden confusion or disorientation. When any of those are in play, don’t drive to a clinic. Call 911.
For the in-between cases, a fever that won’t break, a cut that might need stitches, a possible sprain, urgent care is usually the faster and more affordable choice. We keep a fuller breakdown on our urgent care page if you want to think it through before you head out.
What else can I get done in one visit?
Quite a bit, actually. Because we run on-site X-ray and lab testing, a lot of Gautier visits wrap up with answers the same day instead of a referral somewhere else. Beyond sick visits, we also handle:
- DOT physicals and drug screening for commercial drivers and local employers, handy for folks commuting to the shipyard or driving for a living.
- TOTAL DRIP IV therapy, our menu of medical-grade IV drips administered by clinical staff right inside the clinic, from simple hydration to migraine and immunity support.
- Primary and preventive care, so the same team that treats today’s cold can help manage your everyday health.
