Next Level Urgent Care opens Dripping Springs location

Next Level Urgent Care opened its practice in Dripping Springs with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on August 1. Ambassadors from the Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce welcomed the new business to the community.

The urgent care center is located at 12400 U.S. 290, near the Belterra neighborhood. The clinic is open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Online scheduling of appointments can be made at nextlevelurgentcare. com Next Level Urgent Care was founded by CEO Dr. Juliet Breeze. She was inspired to create a low-cost medical care practice after taking her injured son to a freestanding emergency room and learning the high cost of that option. Her vision was a costeffective, highly skilled healthcare option for non-life threatening medical conditions.

Dr. Jessica Rockwood, M.D. is the principal physician provider at the Dripping Springs clinic.

“We see non-lifethreatening issues,” said Cilia Montoto, community relations specialist for the Austin region. “If a patient comes to our office and we see that it's a life-threatening issue, we send them to a hospital and we do not charge their insurance.”

The facility has an X-ray machine and can treat non-surgical fractures, ear infections, sore throats, lacerations, minor infections, sprains or strains, and more. The clinic also offers occupational health services to employers.

Next Level Urgent Care has a healthcare membership for employers called PRIME, which provides employees and their dependents unlimited access to virtual care, primary care, and urgent care for a low monthly cost of $75 or less for the entire family. Next Level Urgent Care now has 44 locations in Texas.
