Walk-In Clinic for College Students
Medical Care for College Students in San Antonio & Surrounding Areas
Quality Urgent Care is a family- and physician-owned local medical practice, and that personal approach to care is at the heart of what we do. As a family-run business, we understand the challenges that come with balancing school, work, family, finances, and your health. We’ve experienced many of those same everyday pressures ourselves, which is why we believe healthcare should feel personal, approachable, and convenient — not like you’re just another number in a large healthcare system.
Between classes, work, studying, and everything else that comes with college life, finding time for medical care isn’t always easy. Whether you’re living away from home for the first time, commuting to campus, working while attending school, or simply trying to fit a doctor’s visit into a busy schedule, Quality Urgent Care is here to make getting care easier. We provide convenient walk-in medical care for college and university students throughout San Antonio, San Marcos, and surrounding communities.
No appointment is required. Students can walk in for same-day medical care or check in online before arriving to help streamline their visit. Our clinics are open seven days a week, with hours varying by location, making it easier to get care before or after class and on weekends.
College-Friendly Medical Care When You Need It
College students don’t always have time to wait several days for a doctor’s appointment. Campus health centers can also have limited hours or appointment availability, especially when you need care unexpectedly. Quality Urgent Care gives students another convenient option for non-life-threatening illnesses, injuries, testing, physicals, and other medical needs.
Our clinics provide access to experienced medical providers as well as onsite diagnostic services such as labs and X-rays when medically appropriate. Whether you wake up feeling sick before class, injure yourself playing sports, need testing, or have a health concern that simply can’t wait, you can walk in without scheduling an appointment in advance.

Insurance and Self-Pay Options for College Students
Quality Urgent Care accepts most major health insurance plans. Many college students remain covered under a parent or guardian’s health insurance plan, and our team can help answer questions about insurance coverage, copays, and deductibles. If you have health insurance through your college or university, we recommend contacting the clinic before your visit to confirm that your specific student health plan is accepted.
Don’t have health insurance? You can still visit Quality Urgent Care. We offer self-pay options for patients without insurance, giving students another way to receive medical care without having to put off treatment simply because they are uninsured.
The cost of a self-pay visit may depend on the type of care, testing, imaging, or additional services you need. If cost is a concern, talk with our team about self-pay pricing so we can help you understand the expected cost of your visit and available payment options.
