In the Loop: They’re Everywhere 

by Ron Aaron Eisenberg

Urgent Care and free-standing emergency clinics are opening everywhere, or so it seems.  

The latest are an Urgent Care 24/7 and Dental Care 24/7 duo at 1206 Nacogdoches at Broadway and Next Level Urgent Care a block away, next to the Walgreen’s at 7407 Broadway, in space previously occupied by WellMed Medical Management. 

More than 13 urgent care and 4 free-standing emergency rooms are within a three-mile radius of Basse, Nacogdoches, and Broadway. My observation, they’re like nail salons, one on nearly every corner and a few in between. 

Just a few years ago, it was only Texas Med Clinics scattered around town.
