Our staff make the difference!Friendly, welcoming and helpful!A Caring Community Hub: The Story ofURGENT CARE CLINICBy Sally KalosI In the heart of the Hill Country, where the peaceful landscapes of Bergheim meet the bustling communities of Bulverde and Spring Branch, a new healthcare beacon began toshine in June 2024. My Urgent Care Clinic in Bergheim, a second location to the beloved Boerne clinic, was established to provide fast, affordable, and compassionate care to the growing communities in the area.It all started years earlier, in 2018, when Dr. John Turner, a dedicated family doctor, opened the doors to the first My Urgent Care Clinic in Boerne. The success of the clinic, coupled with the pressing need for urgent care in Bergheim and its surrounding areas, led to the expansion. What sets this clinic apart isn’t just the ability to treat injuries and illnesses—it’s the heart behind it.We care for patience of all ages in our communities from 0 to 99.The clinic’s mission is clear: offer timely and accessible care anytime Monday through Saturday from 8 AM to 8 PM and opening Sunday soon! My Urgent Care Clinic was already ahead of the curve when it came to hours of operation. Soon, they’ll even be opening on Sundays, giving families peace of mind knowing that healthcare is always within reach. And even on holidays, the clinic’s doors remain open with adjusted hours, ensuring that urgent care is available when you need it most.For those who walk through its doors, the experience is like no other. From the moment patients step into the clinic, they’re met with a warm greeting and a smile from the friendly staff. Clean, modern, and well-equipped, the clinic is designed to ensure that every patient is treated with care and respect. The team offers rapid testing, includingmolecular testing, and has the ability to perform X-rays on-site. Whether a patient needs an IV for dehydration or stitches for a cut, they know they can rely on the clinic’s skilled providers to deliver swift and effective care.Tamara Perry, who manages and markets Boerne’s My Urgent Care Clinics, shares that the staff at My Urgent Care Clinic isn’t just professional—they’re a part of the community. Many of the providerslive in the same neighborhoods they serve, building strong relationships and a true sense of connection. This shared community spirit is at the heart of My Urgent Care’s success. The providers understand their patients not only as clients but as neighbors, making their approach to care both personal and professional.Beyond just healthcare, the clinic plays an active role in its community. They sponsor local events, such as golf tournaments, clay shoots, and galas through the Chamber of Commerce. But their community involvement doesn’t stop there. My Urgent Care Clinic actively participates in charity events like Lemonade Days, and Health Fairs, and they’re a regular presence at local police and family services fundraisers. They also serve as a collection point for local donation drives, such as school supplies for Love Kendall County Kids and Christmas gifts for homebound seniors through Silver Santa.Dr. Turner’s vision for My Urgent Care Clinic began long before the doors opened in Boerne. His early career in family medicine taught him the importance of building long-lasting relationships with patients and understanding their healthcare needs. But it was his time working in emergency rooms that opened his eyes to a growing problem: patients seeking treatment for non- life-threatening conditions often found themselves facing exorbitant emergency room bills.With this knowledge, Dr. Turner decided to bridge the gap. He wanted to create a space where people could receive the care they needed without the daunting cost of an ER visit. My Urgent Care Clinic was born out of a vision to provide accessible, affordable healthcare without compromising on quality.The clinic fills a critical role in the community, especially as primary care providers (PCPs) become harder to access. By offering extended hours and providing care on weekends and evenings, My Urgent Care Clinic ensures that patients can get the attention they need when their PCP is unavailable. This is especially important for individuals who may not have a doctor yet, particularly for those new to the area.What makes My Urgent Care Clinic truly special is its commitment to providing care for everyone. Whether it’s a simple ear infection, a rash, or more serious issues like abdominal pain, fractures, or lacerations, the clinic is equipped to handle it all. Patients can walk in without an appointment, knowing they’ll be treated with urgency, empathy, and professionalism.And as the clinic continues to grow, its impact on the community only deepens. My Urgent Care Clinic isn’t just a healthcare facility—it’s a trusted partner in the well-being of the people in Bergheim, Boerne, Bulverde, and Spring Branch. With Dr. Turner’s leadership and the dedicated staff behind it, the clinic is more than just a place for urgent care; it’s a hub where healthcare and community intersect, making it a vital part of the Hill Country fabric.At My Urgent Care Clinic, it’s not just about providing medical treatment—it’s about caring for the people who make the community thrive. From the compassionate care providers to the community-focused initiatives, this clinic is changing the way urgent care is experienced, one patient at a time.My Urgent Care Clinic- Bergheim1FM 3351 Suite 135 (behind Valero)(830) 336-4330My Urgent Care Clinic-Boerne 910 River Road, Suite 910(830) 331-2391 www.myurgentcareclinic-boerne.comSeptember 2025www.bsbhighlights.com9
