Dedicated to Immediate and Quality Care
As a locally owned and operated urgent care center, Urgent Care Down East is dedicated to serving those in Washington, NC, and surrounding areas with professional and compassionate care. We are the only walk-in clinic in the area, and our team is trained to handle everything.
From simple acute care needs to on-site x-rays, lacerations, blood work, and more, we can treat you with personalized and comprehensive care the same day you arrive.
How We Began
Rachel has over 25 years of experience in the medical care field and has traveled all over the state of North Carolina. She decided to open the company to fill the lack of urgent care in the area to provide accessible and efficient immediate care for individuals.
Today, Rachel continues to provide same-day comprehensive and personalized care for those who walk in without an appointment.
