Urgent Care | Westchester Health

Urgent Care

At Westchester Health, we know that sometimes you or a family member has a serious illness or injury and you need to see your physician, right away. In cases like these, we accommodate our patients with same-day appointments, extended hours and weekend hours in many of our offices. If that is not possible, we also offer after hours urgent care at our four GOHEALTH urgent care facilities. But remember, you can always call us first at your doctor’s main number.

When you or a family member is sick or injured but it is NOT an emergency, your first step should be to call your Westchester Health physician. We will try our very best to see you as soon as possible that same day. Your doctor will evaluate your symptoms, diagnose the problem and treat your condition right away. If your doctor feels you should see a specialist, he/she will speed up that process so you can be seen as soon as possible.

Decorative TriangleYour doctor knows you and your history

Here at Westchester Health, we know you personally because we’ve developed a relationship with you over time, often decades. We know your medical history, family history, record of immunizations, chronic conditions, risk factors, mental health issues and any other health conditions you may have. At Westchester Health, we strongly feel that this physician-patient relationship and detailed medical knowledge enable us to give you more accurate, more informed and more compassionate care.
