An owner-operated urgent care, built by hand in Riverside

Prosper Urgent Care is an independent clinic on Riverside Avenue, in Jacksonville’s Brooklyn neighborhood. It is not a corporate chain. The person who owns it is the person who treats you.

Meet Alex J. Roberts, PA-C

Mayo Clinic, orthopedic oncology and surgery
Former emergency room PA
Years in high-volume urgent care

Alex grew up in a small town in Indiana and brings that small-town, know-your-neighbors approach to Riverside. He started his career at Mayo Clinic in orthopedic oncology and surgery, moved to the emergency room, where he learned to quickly tell what can be handled in a clinic and what truly needs a hospital, and then spent years in high-volume urgent care.

He set out to build a boutique alternative to the corporate chains: a calm, modern clinic with honest, flat pricing, where you are treated like a neighbor.

Built from the ground up

Over many 18-hour days, Alex personally remodeled the clinic, from the physical space to the check-in, charting, and billing systems that run it. That hands-on approach is why check-in takes a minute on your phone, why you can wait in your car, and why prices are posted up front.

Our team is well paid and here for the long run. That means familiar faces at the front desk and a staff that has time for you. The clinic is at ground level, wheelchair accessible, with plenty of free parking.
