Common Questions About Our Urgent Care

Quick answers to what patients most commonly ask before their first visit.

Yes — all three of our New York locations accept walk-in patients during business hours. No appointment is required. Calling ahead is helpful to reduce your wait time, but it's never mandatory.
Urgent care treats non-life-threatening conditions that still need prompt attention — infections, minor injuries, fever, and more. Emergency rooms are equipped for life-threatening situations like heart attacks, severe trauma, or strokes. Urgent care is significantly faster, less expensive, and typically easier to access.
We accept most major insurance plans including Medicare, Medicaid, Aetna, United Health, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Emblem Health. Self-pay options are also available. Please call (718) 526-2525 to verify your specific plan before your visit.
Wait times vary depending on patient volume. Typically, patients are seen within 15 to 45 minutes. Calling ahead or arriving early in the day usually results in shorter wait times. We always strive to see patients as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality care.
