Medical care or urgent care

I need to see a doctor. It is not an emergency. Is there a place I can go on AMI or nearby? I googled and found Sunshine urgent care? Thanks

If you need non-emergency medical care on Anna Maria Island (AMI), there are a few options depending on how quickly you want to be seen and the type of care you need.

Urgent Care Centers:

  • Sunshine Urgent Care: This is a convenient option on AMI for non-emergency conditions. They typically handle minor illnesses, injuries, flu symptoms, and other urgent but not life-threatening issues. Hours can vary, so calling ahead or checking their website is recommended.
  • Urgent Care of Bradenton: Located just a short drive from AMI in Bradenton, this center offers similar services and may have extended hours, including evenings and weekends.

Primary Care or Walk-In Clinics:

  • Island Health Care (Bradenton/AMI area): For appointments with a primary care physician. This is suitable if you need ongoing care or prescriptions rather than urgent attention.
  • Bayfront Health Medical Walk-In Clinic: Located nearby in Bradenton, good for routine checkups, minor injuries, or illnesses.

Tips:

  • For urgent care, you usually don’t need an appointment, but calling ahead can reduce wait times.
  • If your condition seems serious or life-threatening, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately.
  • Check your insurance coverage in advance, as some clinics may have different in-network requirements.

Overall, Sunshine Urgent Care on AMI is a reliable choice for non-emergency medical needs. For a slightly wider range of services or extended hours, heading a few miles to Bradenton is also a convenient option.
