How far is urgent care from Ocean Springs?
Total Health Urgent Care sits about 16 miles north of Ocean Springs in Vancleave, a straight 20 to 25 minute drive up Highway 57. The road is an easy one: Highway 57 starts right at the Ocean Springs city line off US 90, so you point the car north and stay on it the whole way. Figure a couple minutes more if you’re coming from Front Beach or the Walter Anderson Museum side. Plenty of Ocean Springs families make the short trip for our 7 to 7 hours, walk-in access, and posted pricing. Simple directions matter when you or your child feels lousy and just wants to be seen.

What are the clinic’s hours near Ocean Springs?
We’re open all seven days, morning to evening, 7 to 7. That means Saturdays and Sundays too, not just weekdays. Plenty of folks type urgent care near me open now into their phone on a Sunday afternoon or right after work, and that’s precisely the moment we’re built for across Ocean Springs and the rest of the Highway 57 corridor. No appointment, no waiting on a callback. You walk in and get treated.
Here’s how our access stacks up against the other choices an Ocean Springs family usually weighs.
What does a walk-in clinic actually treat?
A walk-in clinic serving Ocean Springs handles the everyday illnesses and small injuries that can’t hold until a regular appointment but aren’t emergencies. The list is long, and honestly more people lean on this kind of care than you’d guess. The CDC reports that in 2024, 27.6% of people had at least one visit to an urgent care center in the past year. For a lot of families it’s become the natural first stop.
Here’s a sampling of what we handle at our Vancleave clinic:
- Colds, flu, cough, sore throat, and sinus infections
- Testing for COVID, flu, strep, and mono, many with rapid results
- Seasonal flu shots
- Sprains, strains, and simple fractures
- Cuts that need stitches, minor burns, and skin infections
- Nausea, throwing up, and diarrhea
- Bladder infections and other everyday infections
- DOT physicals, drug screening, plus school and sports physicals
The AAFP notes that quick-care clinics fit colds and flu, sprains and strains, small cuts and burns, rashes, and similar issues nicely. Since we keep imaging and lab work right here in the building, we can confirm a simple fracture or read your strep and flu swabs during that same visit, instead of sending you off somewhere and stacking on a wait.
Should you choose urgent care or the ER near Ocean Springs?
If what you’re feeling could be life threatening, don’t make the drive north. Get to the closest emergency room or dial 911. For a medical emergency, always call 911. Urgent care is the smart choice for problems that need help today but aren’t dangerous.
Emergency physicians at ACEP point to a set of red flags that call for the ER, not a clinic. Head straight to a hospital, or dial 911, if you have:
- Chest pain or pressure
- Trouble breathing or shortness of breath
- Signs of a stroke, like a drooping face, arm weakness, or slurred speech
- Bleeding you can’t stop
- Sudden severe pain, confusion, or fainting
- A serious head, neck, or spine injury
For the everyday stuff, a scratchy throat, a twisted ankle, a fever that keeps climbing, a gash that needs a couple stitches, we can get you fixed up quickly and for far less than an ER bill.
What does an urgent care visit cost if you’re uninsured?
We keep our cash pricing plain and posted, no digging required. No insurance? An office visit runs $130. Need imaging on top of that? An X-ray adds $75. And for student athletes, school and sports physicals cost nothing at all. No surprise bills waiting in the mailbox.
Most patients don’t pay cash, though. We take the major insurance plans and handle the billing directly, so you’re usually just covering a copay. What you owe can shift depending on what’s done, so it never hurts to call (228) 283-5045 for a real estimate first. Our pricing and insurance page has more detail too.
What makes an urgent care the best pick near Ocean Springs?
The best urgent care for an Ocean Springs family is simply the one that’s open when you need it, honest about price, and staffed by people who can handle both the sniffles and a busted wrist. So here’s what to look for, and how we measure up.
- Genuine hours. Our lights are on 7 to 7 every day, while many clinics shut early or thin out their weekends.
- Upfront price. We post cash rates so nobody’s left guessing.
- Diagnostics on site. Our own X-ray and lab mean answers during the visit, not a callback next week.
- More under one roof. Urgent and primary care together, with DOT physicals and drug screening in the same stop.
- Free physicals. Student athletes pay zero for theirs.
- A real local face. We’re independent and nurse-practitioner-founded, not a nameless chain.
Our founder, Jennifer Duncan, spent more than two and a half decades in emergency and urgent care before opening these doors. That hands-on history is a big reason families up and down the coast trust us for a walk-in visit.
Do you offer IV therapy and physicals too?
We do, and this one tends to surprise people. Our TOTAL DRIP menu is medical-grade IV therapy delivered inside a licensed clinic, which means if you turn out to need more than fluids, we can step your care up on the spot. The drips run from Hydration Help at $100 to Be Beautiful at $200, with add-ons at $50. On top of that we cover DOT physicals, drug screening, and no-cost sports and school physicals for student athletes. Our services page has the full rundown.
