Ever rushed to the ER for what turned out to be a sprained ankle? I sure have—one chilly December evening, my nephew and I ended up at a crowded hospital after a soccer mishap. That long wait (and my jittery coffee-fuelled nerves) taught me an important lesson: sometimes all you need is a fast, friendly urgent-care spot. That’s where our Taylorsville clinic comes in.
At Urgent Care of Mountain View in Taylorsville, we get it. You want quality care without the hours-long sit-around, and you want to know exactly when we’re open, what we do, and how to breeze through your visit. Let’s dive in.
Our “Doors-Are-Open” Walk-In Hours
No appointments. No fuss. Just come on by:
- Monday–Saturday: 9:00 AM – 8:30 PM
- Sunday: 10:00 AM – 5:30 PM
(Side note: I once dashed in at 8:28 PM on a Saturday—just made it before closing! The staff barely blinked.)
Services We Actually Do (It’s More Than Band-Aids)
You might think urgent care equals ice packs and bandaids. Sure, we’ve got those—but there’s more:
- Injuries & Sprains: Strains, broken bones, dislocations—you name it.
- Cuts, Scrapes & Burns: From kitchen mishaps to grill-gate disasters. (Yes, I once stitched up a finger sliced by a rogue pizza cutter.)
- Respiratory & Infections: Sinus infections, bronchitis, strep throat—no prescription pad, no problem.
- Lab Testing & X-Ray: Fast imaging on-site (our X-ray machine can be finicky, so we keep backup bulbs in the closet).
- EKG & Heart Checks: Sudden chest pain? We’ll hook you up and send you on your way—armed with data.
- Vaccines & Physicals: School, sports, work clearances, flu shots, COVID-19 tests—you pick.
- Occupational Medicine: Workers’ comp exams, drug screens and employer-mandated checkups. (Many local businesses—like Apple Inc. campers—trust us.)
How It Works When You Walk In
Here’s the play-by-play:
- Check-In: Wave at the front desk, hand over ID/insurance or self-pay info.
- Triage: A nurse will ask about your “why are you here” story—keep it short, but honest.
- See the Provider: In our exam rooms, bright and clean (we once had a power flicker mid-exam—everyone stayed calm, though!).
- Diagnostics: If labs or X-rays are needed, we handle them on the spot.
- Treatment & Discharge: Bandages, prescriptions, a pep talk—then you’re back on your feet.
Stuff to Bring & Prep Tips
Nobody wants surprises at the desk. Bring:
- Your photo ID (driver’s license, passport—whatever’s handy).
- Insurance card (or a credit/debit card if you’re self-pay).
- Any medications you’re taking (even vitamins—yes, we’ll note them).
- A short list of symptoms or recent health changes (makes triage faster).
Oh, and your favorite book or phone charger. Our Wi-Fi sometimes drops during storms—true story from last spring.
Meet the Taylorsville Crew
Dr. Sara Thompson leads the charge here. She’s the kind of doc who remembers your kid’s name (even after a hectic weekend shift). Nurse Jackson? He’s famous for his low-key jokes—keeps the mood light when you’re fretting over lab results.
Behind the scenes, our front-desk heroes juggle calls, check-ins, and the occasional “Is the cafeteria open?” question (no cafeteria—just nearby coffee carts). But trust me, they make you feel right at home.
Insurance, Pricing & Why We’re Affordable
Insurance accepted:
- Blue Cross Blue Shield
- Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare
- Medicare & Medicaid

Uninsured or prefer cash? Our special pricing kicks in—transparent, posted at the front desk (no hidden fees). Feel free to ask about self-pay bundles for common visits (strep test + antibiotic consult = one low cost).

Your Questions, Answered
Q: Do I really not need an appointment?
A: Not at all. Walk in anytime during our hours. I once arrived literally one minute before closing—and we still saw me through.
Q: How long will I wait?
A: Average is 20–30 minutes—but hey, emergencies bump the queue. We’ll keep you posted if wait times spike (our display in the lobby shows real-time status).
Q: Can you handle X-rays for fractures?
A: Absolutely. On-site X-ray machine and a radiologist on call. Many home-improvement falls turned out to be just bruises—relief all around.
Q: What about COVID-19 or flu tests?
A: We do rapid tests and PCR. If lines are long, pull up in the drive-thru lane—our staff will collect your sample in minutes.
Q: Are walk-in physicals available?
