Overview

Urgent Care in Astoria, Queens NY

Urgent care provides same-day, walk-in medical attention for illnesses, injuries, and health concerns that need timely evaluation but are not life-threatening emergencies. It fills the gap between a primary care appointment - which may take days or weeks to schedule - and an emergency room visit, which is designed for critical and life-threatening conditions.

BreezeMed (Health Wellness Medical Astoria PLLC) is a physician-supervised urgent care clinic located at 3274 Steinway Street in Astoria, Queens. We are open every day from 9 AM to 9 PM - including weekends, holidays, and evenings - so residents of Astoria, Long Island City, Woodside, Ditmars Steinway, Jackson Heights, and surrounding Queens communities have access to quality care when they need it most.
