Urgent Care Options in Windermere 34786: MD Now, Windermere Medical Center, and AdventHealth Centra Care
Three ways to handle the unexpected sore throat, sprained ankle, or stomach bug without driving to the ER
Windermere, FL (ZIP 34786) has two urgent care facilities located inside the community: MD Now Urgent Care at 5845 Winter Garden Vineland Road and Windermere Medical Center (operated by WinMed Health) at 11600 Lakeside Village Lane. AdventHealth Centra Care Dr. Phillips at 8014 Conroy-Windermere Road, Suite 104 in Orlando 32835 is the nearest Centra Care location and serves many east-side Windermere residents, typically a 5 to 10 minute drive. MD Now is open Monday through Friday 8 AM to 8 PM and weekends 8 AM to 4 PM. Windermere Medical Center operates weekdays 9 AM to 7 PM and weekends 8 AM to 4 PM. AdventHealth Centra Care Dr. Phillips is open weekdays 8 AM to 8 PM and weekends 8 AM to 5 PM. All three accept walk-ins and most major insurance plans.
It's 6:43 PM on a Sunday. Your kid's throat has been killing them all weekend, or the yard project turned into a cut that probably needs stitches. That's when living in Windermere with its lakes and oak canopies suddenly feels less charming — because your primary care office is closed and the nearest ER is a haul.
Good news: Windermere 34786 actually punches above its weight for walk-in medical care. Two facilities sit inside the ZIP itself, plus an AdventHealth Centra Care right on the Dr. Phillips border. Here's the breakdown.
MD Now Urgent Care – Windermere (Winter Garden Vineland Road)
Address: 5845 Winter Garden Vineland Road, Windermere, FL 34786
Phone: (407) 203-1682
Hours: Mon–Fri 8 AM–8 PM, Sat–Sun 8 AM–4 PM
MD Now sits in Windermere Village on Winter Garden Vineland Road (CR-535), within easy reach of Keene's Pointe, Lakes of Windermere, Summerport, and the southern Gotha neighborhoods along the Windermere border. It's a Central Florida chain affiliated with HCA Florida Healthcare — a plus if you need hospital coordination for something more serious.
What you get here: onsite X-ray, labs, EKG, an in-clinic pharmacy for select prescriptions, and the standard walk-in menu — respiratory infections, minor fractures, lacerations, UTIs, occupational medicine, and travel vaccinations. The Web Check-In feature lets you hold your place in line from home rather than burning 45 minutes in the waiting room.
Windermere Medical Center / WinMed Health (Lakeside Village Lane)
Address: 11600 Lakeside Village Lane, Windermere, FL 34786
Phone: (407) 876-2273
Hours: Mon–Fri 9 AM–7 PM, Sat–Sun 8 AM–4 PM
Windermere Medical Center — now operating under the WinMed Health brand as part of the Privia Health network — is a hybrid practice. It's a full primary care office AND a walk-in urgent care facility under the same roof, which is a different model from the big chains. They position themselves as a lower-cost alternative to ER copays when your regular doctor can't squeeze you in same-day.
The provider roster includes MDs, nurse practitioners, and PAs, with services spanning family medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine, hormone management, and chiropractic care alongside walk-in urgent visits. The tradeoff: because they balance scheduled appointments with walk-ins, wait times can be unpredictable, and the weekday schedule starts an hour later than MD Now and Centra Care. Lakeside Village Lane is tucked off Winter Garden Vineland Road near Summerport, making it most convenient for Summerport, Lake Sawyer, and Horizon West-adjacent neighborhoods on Windermere's west side.
AdventHealth Centra Care Dr. Phillips (Conroy-Windermere Road)
Address: 8014 Conroy-Windermere Road, Suite 104, Orlando, FL 32835
Phone: (407) 291-8975
Hours: Mon–Fri 8 AM–8 PM, Sat–Sun 8 AM–5 PM
Fair warning: this one isn't technically inside 34786 — the address reads Orlando 32835, in the Dr. Phillips area. But it sits on Conroy-Windermere Road, and for east Windermere residents (Isleworth, Butler Bay, Reserve at Lake Butler Sound, the Town of Windermere itself), it's often closer than driving across to Lakeside Village Lane.
Centra Care is the urgent care arm of AdventHealth, the largest hospital system in Central Florida. That matters if you already have an AdventHealth primary care doctor or use their patient portal — your visit notes, prescriptions, and imaging flow into the same system automatically. The Dr. Phillips location has onsite X-ray, lab services, and rapid flu, strep, and COVID testing. Weekends close at 5 PM rather than 4 PM, giving you a later Sunday window than MD Now or WinMed. For south or west Windermere residents, Centra Care Horizon West at 9225 Miley Drive in Winter Garden 34787 is a solid backup with identical hours.
Quick Comparison: Which One Should You Pick?
- MD Now: Best for west/north Windermere, onsite pharmacy, and transferable records across clinics.
- WinMed Health: Best for a single medical home combining primary and urgent care, near Summerport or Lakeside Village.
- Centra Care Dr. Phillips: Best for east Windermere, AdventHealth patients, and later Sunday hours (the only one open past 4 PM on weekends).
What About Real Emergencies?
Urgent care is not ER care. Chest pain, stroke symptoms, head injuries with loss of consciousness, severe bleeding, difficulty breathing, or severe abdominal pain warrant a real emergency room. The closest full-service ERs for Windermere residents are Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital at 9400 Turkey Lake Road (about 10–15 minutes from central Windermere) and AdventHealth Winter Garden ER at 2000 Fowler Grove Boulevard.

Pediatric Walk-In Options
All three facilities treat children, but for a gentler experience with kids, dedicated pediatric clinics like Night Lite Pediatrics offer evening and weekend hours specifically for pediatric patients. Our pediatric urgent care guide for nearby Gotha covers family-friendly options that apply equally to Windermere families.
Insurance, Costs, and Walk-In Logistics
All three accept most major insurance — Florida Blue, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Medicare. Urgent care copays typically run $30–$75 depending on your plan, versus $150–$500+ for an ER visit for the same non-life-threatening issue. Self-pay patients should expect $125–$250 for a basic visit, with X-rays and labs billed separately. Both MD Now and Centra Care offer online check-in; WinMed Health uses the Privia Health portal. Use them — weekend afternoon wait times can stretch past an hour.
What the Locals Know
The honest Windermere reality: no 24-hour freestanding ER sits inside 34786, and no urgent care has overnight hours — everybody closes between 4 PM and 8 PM. If something happens at 11 PM on a Saturday, your options narrow to Dr. P. Phillips Hospital ER or AdventHealth Winter Garden. That's the tradeoff for a small, lakefront town.
What Windermere does have is solid daytime and early-evening coverage — two walk-in clinics inside the ZIP, plus Centra Care's 8-to-8 weekdays right on the border. Add the AdventHealth Primary Care Windermere office and the Orlando Health outpatient network on the Dr. Phillips side, and the day-to-day healthcare infrastructure here is better than most towns of 3,000 residents could expect.
