Urgent Care Center in NYC

When you feel unwell or need care fast, MR Primary Care offers same-day urgent care in NYC for non-emergency illnesses and injuries. Our urgent care center pairs the speed of a walk-in clinic with the clinical depth of a full primary care practice, so every urgent care visit joins your ongoing health record instead of ending as a one-off.

Same-day and same-week appointments. Book your appointment online, or call Midtown at (917) 722-4491 or Downtown at (212) 750-5088.

 at either location.

Urgent Care That Feels Organized and Personal

At our NYC urgent care center, experienced clinicians take time to evaluate your symptoms, explain what they find, and coordinate your next steps. Because urgent care runs inside a complete medical practice, your visit becomes part of your record. That continuity is the difference between our urgent care and a standalone chain.

Conditions We Commonly Treat

• Respiratory and flu-related: cough, cold, bronchitis, sore throat, ear pain, and sinus infections. Ask about the flu vaccine during your visit.

• Injuries: sprains, strains, minor fractures, cuts, abrasions, and simple wound care.

• Digestive issues: stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and foodborne illness.

• Skin conditions: rashes, insect bites, allergic reactions, and minor burns.

• Urinary and reproductive: UTIs, mild discomfort, and STI screening.

• General health: headaches, mild migraines, fatigue, dehydration, and fever.

  
  

If your condition needs further testing or specialist care, our clinicians connect you to the right care, inside MR Primary Care or with trusted partners across New York City.

Why Patients Choose MR Primary Care for Urgent Care

What to Expect During Your Visit

1. Book your appointment: reserve a same-day urgent care slot online.

2. Arrive and check in: our front desk reviews your history and symptoms.

3. Consultation and treatment: a clinician examines you, explains the findings, and treats or prescribes as needed.

4. Follow-up coordination: if you need more care, we schedule it directly through the practice.

Most urgent care visits take 30 to 45 minutes, and you leave with a clear plan for recovery.

Urgent Care vs. the Emergency Room

Knowing when to choose urgent care saves you time and money. Visit our urgent care center for fever, cough, or flu symptoms, minor sprains or cuts, allergic reactions without severe swelling, UTIs or stomach pain, and ear infections or sore throat.

Go to an emergency department or call 911 for severe chest pain or shortness of breath, major injuries or heavy bleeding, loss of consciousness, serious allergic reactions with breathing difficulty, or signs of a stroke or heart attack. If you are unsure, call us and we will help you decide.
