About This Location
On Long Avenue in the West Elsdon neighborhood, this urgent care clinic serves one of Chicago's quieter Southwest Side communities — a mostly residential area of small homes and bungalows where urgent care options are genuinely sparse. The address at 5300 Long Ave places the clinic near the border with Garfield Ridge, in a part of the city that sits far from the hospital campuses concentrated in the North Side and downtown. The clinic offers X-ray imaging and lab tests on-site, so patients dealing with injuries or illnesses requiring diagnostics don't need to travel to a more distant facility. DOT physicals are available for commercial drivers, which suits the Southwest Side's significant population of truck drivers and logistics workers near the Midway Airport corridor. The clinic accepts Molina and Aetna among its insurance options, relevant for a neighborhood where many residents carry Medicaid-managed coverage. Note that this location is closed Sundays — Monday through Saturday hours run 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. With 17 reviews and a 4.0 rating, this is a newer location still building its review base. Walk-ins welcome Monday through Saturday.
location_city About West Elsdon
West Elsdon is a quiet, residential Southwest Side neighborhood of bungalows and two-flats, bordered by Garfield Ridge to the west and Chicago Lawn to the east, well removed from the city's major commercial corridors. This clinic is on Long Avenue, in a part of the Southwest Side where urgent care options are limited and the nearest large hospital is a significant drive. The population is largely working families and Latino households. Same-day care availability Monday through Saturday fills a meaningful access gap in an underserved part of the city.
