Urgent Care Near Encino, CA
VIP Urgent Care is a short drive down Ventura Blvd from Encino, with X-ray, labs and a procedure clinic under one roof.
Walk-In Urgent Care Minutes from Encino
VIP Urgent Care is about ten minutes from most of Encino, straight down Ventura Blvd in Tarzana. Walk in for illness, injuries, physicals, lab work, STD testing and IV therapy, and be seen by a provider the same day without an appointment.
Encino patients come to us for two things that are hard to find nearby: in-network coverage with Cedars-Sinai and LA Care, and the ability to get an X-ray, stitches or a fracture set in the same visit instead of being sent to the ER.

Why Not the Closest Clinic?
There are walk-in clinics closer to parts of Encino. Patients still choose VIP Urgent Care for three reasons: we are in network with Cedars-Sinai and LA Care when most urgent cares are not, we have X-ray and labs under one roof so you are not sent somewhere else for imaging, and our physician's general surgery background means stitches, fracture care and minor procedures are handled here instead of the ER.
If you have chest pain, trouble breathing, stroke symptoms, severe bleeding or a major injury, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For everything else, come see us.
