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.
BreezeMed treats non-life-threatening conditions only. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room for: chest pain, difficulty breathing, stroke symptoms (face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty), major trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, loss of consciousness, seizures, severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), or any condition that may be immediately life-threatening. When in doubt, always choose emergency care.
