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.
