Walk-In Urgent Care & Mental Health in San Ysidro
Palm Urgent Care – San Ysidro is a walk-in clinic on East San Ysidro Boulevard, minutes from Interstate 5, Interstate 805 and the San Ysidro Port of Entry. No appointment and no referral are needed: come in when you need care and a clinician will see you the same day, or book ahead online if you prefer a set time. The clinic offers 9 services under one roof, spanning everyday urgent care and mental health support, so a visit that starts with a sore throat or a sprained ankle can also connect you with counseling or behavioral health follow-up without a second trip. We proudly serve San Ysidro, Otay Mesa and cross-border families, with care available in 9 languages.
What This Clinic Treats
Our urgent care side handles Urgent Care, Walk-In Care, Lab Testing, Minor Procedures, Physical Exams, COVID-19 & Flu Testing, Occupational Health, Pediatric Urgent Care, Telehealth & Virtual Visits: the everyday illnesses, minor injuries, and routine exams that should not require an emergency room visit or an appointment weeks away. If you are not sure whether we treat what you have, call (619) 354-6494 and the front desk will tell you before you make the trip. For a life-threatening emergency, call 911. For a mental health crisis, call or text 988. See the full list on our services page.
