Best urgent care near Disney Resorts?

[Fourfam]

I think my son might have an ear infection-- we are staying at the Polynesian. Is there an urgent care nearby that anyone has had good experiences with?

I went to the Buena Vista Urgent Care once. No complaints, except I wish I knew in advance that they had shuttle.
Quite awhile ago I read a person went to hotel front desk and was provided with a doctors number to call who came to the room.
There is also a pharmacy who delivers to the resorts. You just have to ask the doctor to phone the prescription in. The resort front desk should be able to tell you pharmacy info. It may be Turners? Not sure, it’s been awhile.

Used Centra Care several times over the years -- excellent care every time!

Agree, I went to Florida Hospital Centra Urgent Care and I was in and out with medicine. I took an uber right when they opened and was back at my resort in an hour.

We've used the Walgreens clinic just outside of Disney Springs. We were in and out with the prescription filled in around 30 minutes. We didn't make an appointment but you can do so online if desired.

Hope your little guy is feeling better! Which urgent care did you go to?

Could you tell us exactly where this is? With the new pedestrian bridges at Disney Springs, this could be WONDERFUL IF it is across the street...

Its not right across the street its a ways away. You have to go down Hotel Plaza Blvd to the Cross Roads intersection(McDonalds will be across the street) and take a right on Apopka Vineland Rd then its down the road a little bit on your right.

Unfortunately it's not that close. It has been a few years since went there but I'm pretty certain we used the one on S.Apopka Vineland Rd just past Palm Parkway. It was a left turn out of Hotel Plaza Blvd - minutes away. We had a car but you could easily get a taxi if needed.

Lake Buena Vista Centra Care is where I went my last visit when I had a upper respitory infection its on Apopka Vineland Rd too just go left at the cross Roads. They are very slow I was there before 8pm and didn't leave until after midnight to go get prescriptions filled and the Walgreens that are close by don't have 24HR pharmacies. I had to drive a long ways to another one that was 24HRS and didn't get back to my room until 230am. I went there a couple days earlier when I walked in they told me it was at least a 4 hour wait and there were only two people waiting in the lobby. If I need to see a Dr again on a trip I'll find a different Minor Emergency or be there before they open.

DD (adult on DCP) got strep and went to Lake Buena Vista Centra Care with great insurance. Guess they saw her coming, demanded $400 deposit. I was on phone with her so I heard it all. They claim they would probably run tests that came to thousands of dollars so they needed that co-pay. I told her walk out the door and go two blocks to Walgreens. No wait, seen and given test and prescription for a total of $60 bucks. Also had horrible experience with Florida Celebration Hospital as did cousin.

Remember you are in a tourist area and they will fleece you if they can. I have only heard great things about doctor who comes to Disney hotel rooms.

Agree about the in room doctor. Many years ago we were recommended to go to one of the urgent care centers - can't recall the name. We took our sick 4 yr old with our 2 yr old along as well and it was ridiculously crowded. They weren't going to take our very good insurance and actually advised us not to wait there but to request the in room doctor, who was also affiliated with them, as the charge would be pretty much the same and we could wait there comfortably. It cost us $200 but with kids that young it really was worth it to be able to wait in our room - plus the doctor was just wonderful. This was before Walgreens/CVS clinics were available all over the country. Now it's easy to find a quick solution to those vacation illness issues!

I went to Buena Vista Urgent Care on World Dr. in March. On the drive to Orlando I started to feel really ill so right after checking in, I asked for the closest urgent care to POR and somehow ended up there. I paid my $50 copay for urgent care and was in for less than 5 minutes. I have worked for an ENT for 7 years and basically they just confirmed my thoughts on what it was. The doctor gave me a prescription and sent me down the road to Walgreens to fill. Yes, I'm glad I saw a doctor and was on the road to feeling better, but I wish I would've went somewhere else that actually gives the patient the time of day.

OP, just wondering how it all went with your kiddo? My son has issues with ear infections and I'm worried he'll get one while we are on our trip.

 

[we"reofftoneverland]

We also used centra for a 4 year olds ear infection. It was okay. Took about 2-3 hours and it was not inexpensive. But I cannot remember the exact price.

I had to take my wife to the emergency room at Florida Hospital Celebration Health and they were really good. The doctor was knowlegable and it was a pretty quick Uber ride from the grand floridian. I believe it was around 300 dollars but can't recall exactly. My health insurance covered most of it.

What we liked about Walgreens was that even though we were in and out quickly, the NP did not rush through our visit. She talked to our son, listened to his complaints and checked for both strep throat and influenza. We thought she was very thorough for urgent care - and it was a huge plus to be able to get the prescription filled at the same time.

Who has used the “In Room” Dr. option that was beneficial and helped out enough opposed to say going to one of the Urgent care places? Or which place is good to go to that will pick me up from Boardwalk Inn? Who did you use? How did you find the options and who to call? I know I saw a thread before on here w all of this in it but I’m not able to find it at the moment in the mist of my painful fog. Thanks for any help everyone.
