The walk-in clinic I go to has good business hours: 8AM-8PM seven days a week. $109 for a visit minimum. I took Leyna there for ear pain Monday of last week and they prescribed her amoxicillin. She saw a nurse practitioner, but I’ve also seen a doctor when I’ve gone.. I don’t know the criteria for whether you see a doc or an NP — might be the time of day you go.
So on weekends or on weeknights before 8PM, I go there — for my kids or myself. I’d rather pay $109 than exorbitant Emergency Room fees. Also, my ER experience is that wait times are usually hours. A long wait time at this place is 40 minutes, in my experience. Fastest I’ve been seen is perhaps 20 minuets.

There’s also a pediatric urgent care facility in Palm Harbor:
After Hours Pediatrics Urgent Care
3450 East Lake Rd.
Palm Harbor, FL 34685727-789-8887
After Hours Pediatrics has awesome hours:
Open Evenings: 5 p.m. – 11 p.m.
Weekends & Holidays: 1 p.m. – 11 p.m.
I haven’t tried After Hours Pediatrics Urgent Care yet, but I would if I needed to bring one of my girls to the doc after 8PM and before 11PM. I believe they once told me a visit started at $180 but definitely do your own research.
Leyna once cut her head on the weekend and Auri brought her to the ER. It cost $1200 or so when all was said and done. And the procedure was the application of skin glue to the cut. Perhaps some Neosporin too. Nothing more. I didn’t feel like I got good value for my money in that instance.
