AdventHealth Centra Care Dr. Phillips: The Closest Centra Care to MetroWest
Why MetroWest families head south on Conroy-Windermere Road when the AdventHealth network matters more than the shortest drive
AdventHealth Centra Care Dr. Phillips is a full-service urgent care clinic located at 8014 Conroy-Windermere Road, Suite 104, Orlando, FL 32835, approximately 2.5 miles south of MetroWest. It is the closest AdventHealth-branded walk-in clinic to MetroWest, with a typical drive time of 7 to 10 minutes. The clinic operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM and Saturday through Sunday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Services include on-site X-rays, EKGs, rapid flu testing, pediatric care, physicals, occupational health, and a dedicated AdventHealth Lab open weekdays from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The phone number is 407-291-8975.
Let's be upfront: if you live in MetroWest and you just need any walk-in clinic, AdventHealth Centra Care Dr. Phillips isn't your shortest drive. CareSpot and MD Now both sit on S Kirkman Road, practically on MetroWest's eastern doorstep. So why does the Centra Care on Conroy-Windermere keep topping MetroWest families' "where do we go when we're sick" list?
One word: network. If your primary care doctor, kids' pediatrician, or specialists are inside AdventHealth, "closest" stops meaning "fewest miles" and starts meaning "fewest phone calls to track down what happened." That's the honest case for the extra 2.5 miles south.
Where It Is and How to Get There from MetroWest
AdventHealth Centra Care Dr. Phillips sits at 8014 Conroy-Windermere Road, Suite 104, in the retail strip just west of Apopka-Vineland Road. Two reasonable routes from MetroWest:
- South on Hiawassee Road, right onto Conroy-Windermere — about 7-9 minutes
- South on Apopka-Vineland (CR 435), left onto Conroy-Windermere — 8-10 minutes, fewer signals
Total distance: roughly 2.5 miles from the heart of MetroWest. For comparison, Centra Care Horizon West is closer to 14 miles west on Miley Drive, and Centra Care Lake Buena Vista (the one famously open until midnight) is about 10 miles south. Conroy-Windermere is the easy default for MetroWest.
What's Actually There: Services Under One Roof
The Dr. Phillips location is full-service in the way most MetroWest families would define it:
- Urgent care for illness, fevers, infections, lacerations, sprains, and minor fractures
- On-site X-rays (no separate imaging trip after your visit)
- EKGs and rapid flu/strep testing
- Pediatric care for kids of all ages
- School, sports, camp, and DOT physicals
- Occupational health and drug screening
- A dedicated AdventHealth Lab for physician-ordered blood work
The on-site lab is the underrated piece. It runs Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and handles work referred from AdventHealth primary care doctors elsewhere in the system. If your physician orders a fasting lipid panel or a thyroid check, you don't need a separate Quest or LabCorp trip.
Hours: What's Actually Open When
Here's the part to screen-cap before you need it:
- Urgent care: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM
- Urgent care: Saturday–Sunday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
- AdventHealth Lab (inside): Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM (closed weekends)
Weekend hours close at 5 PM, worth noting honestly — if your kid spikes a fever at 7 PM on Sunday, you're heading to Centra Care Lake Buena Vista (open until midnight) or an emergency room. Most weekday illnesses fit neatly inside the 8-to-8 window.
The Real Question: Why Drive Past Closer Clinics?
This is the conversation we have with relocating clients constantly. MetroWest has three urgent care options within five minutes: CareSpot Metro West and MD Now West Orlando (both on S Kirkman) and Sanitas Medical Center on Metropolis Way. All three are closer than Conroy-Windermere Centra Care. So here's the honest case for Centra Care anyway:
If You're in the AdventHealth Network
AdventHealth is one of Central Florida's two dominant hospital systems (Orlando Health is the other). If your primary care doctor, kids' pediatrician, or specialists are AdventHealth, Centra Care becomes the path of least resistance. Records, prescriptions, allergies, and prior visit notes all live in the same Epic-based portal. The urgent care visit shows up in your chart automatically — no fax requests, no "can you send the records to my doctor?" follow-ups.
For comparison: MD Now operates under HCA Florida Healthcare, and CareSpot partners with Orlando Health. Both are good systems — they're just different systems. Walk into a non-AdventHealth urgent care as an AdventHealth patient and you're creating a parallel record someone has to reconcile later.
If You Want a Predictable Experience
Centra Care has operated in Central Florida for over 40 years, and the experience is heavily standardized. Intake flow, room layout, online check-in, lab ordering — consistent across locations. If you've been to one Centra Care, you've essentially been to all of them. That predictability matters when you already don't feel great.
If You Need the On-Site Lab
This is genuinely useful and not every urgent care offers it. The AdventHealth Lab inside this Centra Care handles physician-ordered work, not just same-day urgent diagnostics. If your doctor orders bloodwork during a separate visit, this Conroy-Windermere location is the closest AdventHealth Lab to MetroWest.

How It Fits the Bigger MetroWest Healthcare Picture
Centra Care Dr. Phillips is one piece of a fairly rich healthcare neighborhood for MetroWest. South of MetroWest, the Dr. Phillips community is built around Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital on Turkey Lake Road — a full-service hospital with 24-hour ER and surgical specialties. Southwest, Windermere and Horizon West have their own AdventHealth and Orlando Health outposts. For the full picture, see the FNR MetroWest hospitals and health resources guide, and for a deeper head-to-head, our Dr. Phillips urgent care comparison.
MetroWest sits at a healthcare crossroads — within 10-15 minutes of two major hospital systems' full-service facilities. That's better coverage than a lot of suburban Orlando neighborhoods get.
Booking, Walk-Ins, and Insurance
Centra Care accepts walk-ins, but the smart move is the online reservation tool — pick a window, fill out intake on your phone, and your in-clinic wait shrinks considerably. The clinic accepts most major insurance plans including AdventHealth-affiliated plans, BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, Medicare, and Medicaid (verify your specific plan before the visit). Self-pay rates are posted.

What the Locals Know
The honest summary: AdventHealth Centra Care Dr. Phillips isn't the closest walk-in clinic to MetroWest in raw mileage — but it's the closest Centra Care, and for any household already plugged into AdventHealth, that distinction does most of the work. Records flow, prescriptions land in the right portal, and your primary care doctor sees the visit notes the next morning.
If you're new to MetroWest, the better question isn't "which urgent care is closest?" — it's "which hospital system do I want to be inside?" Answer that, and the urgent care choice usually answers itself. For AdventHealth households, the Conroy-Windermere location is the fully-equipped front door to that system from MetroWest. Worth the extra mile or two. 🩺
