The health care facility located across from West Oaks Mall at 9580 West Colonial Drive in Ocoee provides an alternative to overcrowded, high-cost emergency rooms by combining the convenience and low-cost of an urgent care clinic with the technology and medical personnel associated with a hospital ER.
Staffed by board-certified emergency medicine physicians and bilingual staff, GuideWell Emergency Doctors is equipped with 21 examination rooms and on-site diagnostic equipment including CT scan, x-ray, ultrasound and certified labs, eliminating the need to send patients to other locations for diagnostic services or to wait hours for results.
