On Friday, April 1, the Eatonton-Putnam County and Greene County chambers of commerce held a joint ribbon cutting ceremony with Lake Oconee Urgent & Specialty Care, celebrating the grand opening.  Lake Oconee Urgent & Specialty Care provides quality, convenient, cost effective care for non-life threatening illnesses and injuries. The center is dedicated to becoming the preeminent provider of walk-in urgent care services, geriatric, primary care and integrative medicine; as well as women health.

Lake Oconee Urgent & Specialty Care specializes in treating illness or injury on an episodic basis, treating everything from bronchitis, cold and flu, sore throat, ear ache to fractures cuts, lacerations, sprains, sports injuries, urinary tract infections and more. The state-of-the-art facilities include on-site pharmacy for commonly prescribed medications, digital X-rays, EKG and lab work for one-stop care. Patients can be seen by an experienced board-certified physician, in a welcoming environment, without an appointment at a fraction of the cost of an emergency room in one hour or less; or when a visit to your primary care provider, isn’t possible.  

In addition to treating walk-in patients, Lake Oconee Urgent & Specialty Care also offers a single point of contact for workers’ comp and occupational health needs, providing vaccinations, drug screenings and preemployment physicals. Lake Oconee Urgent & Specialty Care at Harmony Crossing is staffed by board certified physicians and technicians, providing patients with the skill, expertise and confidence of a full emergency team.

“Urgent care offers a unique service to the community,” says Dr. Eddie Richardson, Medical Director, of Lake Oconee Urgent & Specialty Care. “Until now, residents only had the option of waiting for an appointment with their primary care physician or visiting an emergency room, where they may have waited for hours while emergency cases were treated. Now, they can visit urgent care for faster treatment without an appointment.”

Lake Oconee Urgent & Specialty Care center is located at 105 Harmony Crossing, Eatonton, GA 31024, next door to Mellow Mushroom.  For more information, please call (706) 484-0884.
