Urgent Care

Expert Care. Convenient Care.

When your health needs can’t wait, choose North Oaks Urgent Care and get the expert medical attention you need for your illness or minor injury. Just walk in or reserve your spot online at one of our locations in Hammond, Ponchatoula & Walker – open every day from 7 a.m. – 8 p.m.

From infants to adults, our team provides care for people of all ages with cutting-edge x-ray and other diagnostic services to rapidly assess your condition onsite. Our urgent care providers also have access to advanced specialty care with our health system and can activate our ER, Level II Trauma Center or Primary Stroke Center teams.

Many of our nurse practitioners are certified in emergency care, enabling them to see more complex cases than most urgent care providers. They also work in the ER alongside emergency medicine physicians, where they are cross-trained to ensure they are equipped to identify and care for various urgent conditions.

All locations are equipped to provide COVID-19 testing (PCR and Rapid tests) and COVID-19 vaccinations.

We accept most major insurance plans, Medicare and Medicaid. Self-pay options also are available.
