Nobody likes to go to the emergency room. Sometimes it’s necessary, but if you’ve got something going on that isn’t an “emergency”, where do you turn? Doctor’s office may be closed (they have awesome hours, right?), insurance may not even cover an emergency room visit, or if you don’t have insurance, the cost is typically outrageous. Most cities, especially major cities, have urgent medical care clinics. These are usually a great alternative to an ER visit, and staff Registered Nurses and Medical Doctors at all times.
Urgent care clinics will usually care for you or your loved one in any way. Some even offer routine medical care along with the emergency or urgent aspect. If you live in New York, there are thousands of these urgent care clinics at your disposal. If you live specifically in or near Smithtown, Pt. Jefferson Station, Cutchogue, and Deer Park, one urgent care clinic to consider is Stat Health. Stat Health is opening other locations including Urgent Medical Care Plainview, Sayville, and Greenvale. Stat Health is a walk in medical care center that is staffed, owned, and operated by board certified emergency medical physicians. All locations use state of the art technology to send prescriptions, perform x-rays, rapid lab tests, and ekg’s. They offer treatment of everything from a cold to sprains and fractures. As well, they offer vaccinations and physicals, such as sports and employment physicals. Stat Health actually keeps an Occupational Medical Department staffed. For those conscious employers, where productivity is of the utmost importance, this clinic is who they turn to. Stat Health provides contractual services with these employers and offer plant visits as well.
This emergency care clinic accepts all major credit cards, checks, and cash. They also accept most insurance plans, which makes it a better alternative than paying typical emergency care costs. All locations of Stat Health are open 7 days a week, and do not require an appointment. As of right now, prior to opening Urgent Medical Care Plainview, as well as the other upcoming locations, they staff 18 medical doctors. All of these medical doctors on staff are board certified in emergency medical care. With Stat Health, and many other emergency walk in clinics, you can rest assured that you or your loved one is receiving the best care outside of an emergency room setting.
