“Urgent care centers are walk-in centers that take care of minor injuries and illnesses. If you think you need to see a doctor right away, and you don’t think it’s a real life-threatening emergency, then an urgent care center is probably the most convenient place for you to go. We see patients quickly, without an appointment. We’re equipped to take care of lacerations, fractures, and other minor injuries that otherwise you might have to go to an emergency room for. If you are having chest pain, severe difficulty breathing, weakness, or any other complaint that you think may be serious or life-threatening, it’s always better to go to an emergency room directly because that’s the place where they’ll most likely be equipped to take care of this. Mount Sinai has urgent care centers in Brooklyn and Manhattan. We’re open 365 days a year with extended hours, and you can just walk-in without an appointment – we’ll be happy to see you.”
