Fast & Reliable Care

Our convenient Urgent Care office is open 7 days a week with walk-in services available for you when a medical situation arises, if you do not have a primary care physician, or if your physician is not available.

In addition:

  • We accept most major health insurance. 
  • We welcome Bristol Health Medical Group patients who are unable to get a same-day, sick visit appointment with their provider. Billing will reflect as a sick visit instead of an urgent care visit. 
  • Appointments are not required, but you can contact Central Scheduling at 860-585-3020 if you wish to reserve one.
  • We treat mild, acute injuries or illnesses in patients as young as 3 years old such as sore throats and ear infections, but not pediatric emergencies.
  • X-rays are available on site.
  • We are open 365 days a year.
