Urgent Care Serving Selbyville, DE | West Ocean City Injury & Illness Center

Walk-In Urgent Care Serving Selbyville, DE, and the Sussex County Coast

West Ocean City Injury & Illness Center offers walk-in urgent care without an appointment. Whether you live near the US-113 and DE-54 interchange, in residential streets west of town, or in neighboring communities like Ocean View, Fenwick Island, or Bethany Beach, the center provides same-day care when your regular doctor is unavailable. Typical wait times may be under 30 minutes, a meaningful advantage over a hospital ER for non-life-threatening conditions.



The center has served the coastal Maryland and Delaware region since 2007 and is open seven days a week. Weekday hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Weekend hours are Saturday and Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The center treats a broad range of non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses in a single visit, including:

• Sprains, simple fractures, and orthopedic injuries, with walk boots, crutches, slings, and splints available on-site.
• Lacerations and wound care, including repair with sutures, staples, or dermabond.
• Sore throat, strep testing, and respiratory illnesses such as bronchitis and pneumonia.
• Ear infections, eye injuries, and foreign body removal.
• Fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, and urinary tract infections.
• Skin infections and abscesses.
• Back injuries and sports-related injuries.
• Immunizations and injectable therapies.
• Occupational health services, including work physicals and drug screens.

In-house digital X-ray and rapid lab testing mean most conditions can be diagnosed and treated in one visit. Orthopedic supplies are typically billed to insurance where your plan allows. Staff follow standard safety and sanitation practices between visits to keep the clinic clean for every patient.

In-House Diagnostics Make Same-Day Care Possible

On-site lab work and digital X-ray mean patients rarely need to be sent elsewhere for basic diagnostic needs, sparing Selbyville-area residents a longer drive to a hospital in Salisbury or Georgetown. Providers follow a standard intake process, reviewing symptoms and vital signs before ordering X-ray or lab work, so testing matches each patient's specific injury or illness.
