Frequently Asked Questions About Walk-In Urgent Care Services in Cape May andAtlantic Counties
What is the difference between an urgent care clinic and the emergency room?
Cooper Urgent Care clinics are conveniently located to provide diagnosis and treatment for a wide variety of non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries with no appointment needed. We also offer health care services such as lab testing, IV therapy, X-rays, and sports physicals. Although our doctors have experience in emergency care, it’s best to seek treatment at the emergency room if you or your children have symptoms of life-threatening conditions such as chest pain, severe breathing problems, a high fever with a rash, or a serious injury from a car accident or fall. Generally speaking, if you’d be comfortable consulting with your primary care physician about your symptoms, but he or she is unavailable for an immediate appointment, our walk-in urgent care clinics can be a great alternative.
How far away is your walk-in clinic from my home?
We have four Cooper Urgent Care locations in Cape May and Atlantic counties so that residents and visitors won’t have to drive far to get the high-quality health care they need. For example, if you’re located in Somers Point or Ocean City, our Marmora walk-in clinic is only 5 miles away, and from Woodbine it’s only 13 miles. We also have walk-in clinics in Wildwood, Hammonton, and Cape May Court House. Click here to find the Cooper Urgent Care clinic that’s closest to you. It’s also a good idea to consider that our wait times are exceptionally short – often shorter than other walk-in clinics that may be closer to you – so driving a little farther for speedy service may be worth your while.

Do you offer electrocardiograms (EKGs)?
