On 440 W 114th St, a small urgent-care hub handles cuts that need stitches, sprains that need splints, and fevers that spike overnight. They open their doors six days a week to anyone walking in—no appointment first, no referral required. Throat swabs, splinter removals, and basic lab tests sit alongside treatment for rashes, minor burns, and dehydration.

It’s the kind of place that feels like the neighborhood’s quiet safety net; you’ll spot students clutching ice packs after soccer collisions and parents ushering toddlers with barking coughs. X-rays and sutures share the same short hallway, and the staff keeps a ready supply of crutches and braces.

If the problem feels too big for an urgent-care stop, they’ll refer you onward; otherwise, they wrap things up and send you home the same day. Insurance details can be sorted at the front desk—bring your card, and they’ll photocopy the front and back before you leave.

To reach the office, grab directions on the map; once you’re on site, call (212) 523-3300 from the curb and they’ll page you inside.
