About

Scripps HealthExpress Eastlake in Chula Vista provides same-day walk-in care from the second floor of Scripps Coastal Medical Center Eastlake at 971 Lane Avenue, serving the Eastlake, Otay Ranch, Salt Creek Ranch, and Rolling Hills Ranch communities. Supervised by Scripps Coastal Medical Group physicians and staffed by nurse practitioners and physician assistants, the clinic treats patients ages five and older for colds, flu, sore throats, allergies, and minor injuries, with vision-related concerns referred to nearby providers including Eastlake Optometry when follow-up ophthalmologic evaluation is warranted. The HealthExpress model launched in 2015 under Scripps Health, a not-for-profit system founded in 1890, and expanded in 2018 to embed walk-in clinics within existing Scripps Coastal Medical Center campuses across San Diego County. Select immunizations, school and camp physicals, and virtual care through Scripps E-Visits and Video Visits supplement the in-person walk-in workflow, with the "I'm On My Way" MyScripps feature allowing patients to begin check-in before arrival. Allergy and asthma presentations requiring specialist follow-up beyond walk-in scope route to providers in the Eastlake corridor such as Modena Allergy + Asthma - Eastlake for comprehensive allergen panel testing and immunotherapy initiation. On-site diagnostic capabilities include rapid influenza and strep antigen testing, urinalysis, and basic wound care with adhesive or suture closure, supported by the parent medical center's co-located imaging and laboratory infrastructure.
