Urgent Care at Smith Mountain Lake: Quick Care Guide (2025)

Once considered a niche corner of healthcare, urgent care medicine has quickly become part of everyday life.

These centers now serve as go-to destinations for fast, affordable treatment of minor injuries and illnesses—no appointment required and often open well beyond typical office hours. From sprains and cuts to stomach bugs and seasonal viruses, patients can skip the long waits at the ER or for primary care visits and instead get the care they need, close to home, usually with reasonable co-pays.

Fortunately for Smith Mountain Lake residents and visitors, several trusted urgent care options are just minutes away.

Carilion Velocity Care

Should a lake visitor or resident suffer an illness or injury that does not require EMS transport, trained medical personnel at Carilion VelocityCare at Westlake Corner are on hand, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, to facilitate healing. Walk-ins are welcome, and patients can reduce wait times by reserving a spot online in advance. Video visits are also available.

Express Family Care

Dr. David Alligood and his team offer urgent care services for minor injuries and illnesses to walk-in patients, no appointment necessary.
