Doctor in Ocean Park & Punta Las Marías: ERs, Pharmacy and Beach Safety

The neighborhood pharmacy is Walgreens, 1963 Calle Loíza, San Juan, PR 00911, 787-728-0033. Per its page on the Walgreens locator, the store is open 24 hours, but the pharmacy counter runs 9 a.m.–8 p.m. every day, closed 1:30–2 p.m. for a meal break.

There is no Farmacia Caridad in Ocean Park; the nearest in its directory is Condado (1307 Ashford Ave), with a 24-hour shop floor and a counter that closes at 6 p.m. on weekdays. In the small hours, the nearest open counter we verified is in Guaynabo: Walgreens, 2505 Carr 841 (787-287-0528), closed 1:30–2 a.m.

Once the Calle Loíza counter closes, the neighborhood has an open store and no clinic: we could not verify any urgent care or CDT in Ocean Park or Punta Las Marías. Work through it in this order:

Ocean Park is a residential neighborhood of 1930s–1950s single-family homes and small guesthouses, between Parque to the west and Punta Las Marías to the east. McLeary Avenue runs through the middle with cafés, pubs and some services; Calle Loíza to the south has filled with restaurants, bars and boutiques (Wikipedia, a secondary source). If a night out on Loíza ends with someone who drank too much and is hard to rouse, vomiting while asleep or breathing oddly, that is 911, not a video call.

Steady trade winds make the area a kitesurfing and windsurfing spot, and offshore reefs keep big waves down. By video the doctor assesses a scrape or small cut that looks red a few days later, a sunburn, or ear pain after swimming (swimmer's ear). A head knock with confusion, a possible broken bone, a deep cut that won't stop bleeding, or someone who swallowed a lot of water means the ER or 911.

The usual need here is a resident with a fever on a Sunday, or a rental guest with no car. For anything that is not an emergency, we offer urgent care by video: flu, sore throat, UTI symptoms and rashes, plus follow-up for high blood pressure or diabetes. Dr. Diana Nieves Castro is a general practice physician with several years of emergency-department experience, and she sees adults and children of all ages, in English or Spanish.

We evaluate, diagnose and treat; if needed, we give you a lab order for a lab near you. If appropriate, the doctor prescribes and we send your prescription to your pharmacy. We do not prescribe controlled substances. Patients under 21 have a parent or legal guardian on the video, showing ID.

We send you a secure video link that works on your phone, tablet or computer. You just need to be in Puerto Rico during the visit. On vacation in a rental? See care for visitors.

You pay by card through secure checkout; you are charged when you request the visit, with a full refund if the visit can't happen. The same price for every age:

Living here year-round means living with the dengue mosquito. The Puerto Rico Department of Health weekly report (week 37, published September 23, 2026) counts 41 cases in San Juan municipality in weeks 1–37 of 2026. The CDC recommends DEET repellent and air-conditioned or screened rooms; tip out standing water in pots, buckets and old tires. See dengue in Puerto Rico. Before you swim, check the National Weather Service beach forecast (opens in a new tab); NOAA notes a Portuguese man o' war can sting weeks after washing ashore. See jellyfish stings.
