Urgent Care by Appointment Call (212) 737-1212, Open Daily

Our warm, comfortable urgent care center located in the safe, convenient Upper East Side of Manhattan is available, by arrangement, 24 hours a day (7 days a week, including weekends and all holidays) and is less costly than an emergency room (ER) visit. Covenient to nearby New York City train stations and bus stops. Parking is available most times and a convenient garage is located just steps from the center. Immediate, affordable medical care is provided by appointment only. Our schedule is unfortunately unable to accommodate walk-in appointments. Minor emergencies will be accommodated at our facility on a triage basis. Our courteous, friendly and knowlegable staff will be happy to schedule you for same day appointments and can assist you in filing your insurance claims for your maximum reimbursement.
Ongoing ambulatory medical care is available from our team of experienced, multiply board certified internists and family practitioners for patients without a primary care physician at our private practice. We can become the patients' primary care physician for patients who do not yet have one. Patients with a primary care physician will always be referred back with a fully detailed note and/or telephone call if desired. Patients requiring hospitaliztion will be followed by our team of board certified internists with faculty appointments at New York City's finest teaching hospitals.
If followup is needed after leaving New York City, we refer patients to Miami Urgent Care and an extensive network of other urgent care centers and health centers across the United States and Canada.
