Lakeland, FL – The public is invited to an upcoming groundbreaking event to mark the beginning of construction on the new Watson Clinic Urgent Care South facility. The event is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, August 7 at 10 AM from the Watson Clinic South location at 1033 North Parkway Frontage Road in Lakeland.

Projected to open in January of 2020, Watson Clinic Urgent Care South will feature a staff of board-certified physicians and highly professional care team members who can treat minor illnesses and injuries on a walk-in basis without the need for an appointment. In addition to the convenience of after-hours and weekend availability and onsite access to x-ray, CT, ultrasound and laboratory capabilities, Urgent Care South will also introduce same-day online appointment scheduling to minimize waiting times. 

“Our walk-in care options – including our Urgent Care Main and XpressCare Highlands facilities – have become increasingly popular over the past few years,” says Watson Clinic Managing Partner Dr. Steven Achinger, “Our new Urgent Care South location will expand upon the level of convenience and expertise that our community demands and deserves.”

“Patients appreciate our walk-in care options because they deliver quality healthcare on their schedule when they need it the most,” says Watson Clinic Urgent Care specialist Jarett A. Gregory, DO. “They also provide a more cost-effective alternative to traditional emergency room visits.”

Urgent Care South will be constructed as an expansion of the current Watson Clinic South location, a beloved facility that has served the needs of patients in our community since 1985.
