+MEDRITE Upper West Side Urgent Care files its address as 2189 Broadway, New York, NY 10024. The block sits on Broadway between 77th and 78th Streets, in a residential UWS corridor that mixes pre-war apartment buildings with ground-floor commercial. A neighborhood urgent care in this corridor serves the apartment-dense population that walks rather than drives to medical care.
The residential UWS walk-in pattern
UWS walk-in visits skew toward routine acute care for established neighborhood residents who do not want to wait for a primary care appointment: streptococcal pharyngitis (especially during school year), urinary tract infections, minor injuries, and seasonal respiratory illness. Pediatric volume is meaningful given the family demographic of the surrounding blocks.
Pediatric urgent care on the UWS
The Upper West Side has one of the highest concentrations of school-aged children in Manhattan. Pediatric urgent care visits cover strep throat testing, ear infections, minor injuries from school sports, and rashes. Asking on the first call whether the location accepts pediatric patients clarifies the visit option.
Calling ahead
The listed number is +1 212-XXX-XXXX. Peak hours are after school dismissal (3-6pm weekdays) and weekend mornings. Midweek mornings are typically the lightest window.
Getting to 2189 Broadway
The address is a 3-minute walk from the 79th Street 1 train and 6 minutes from the 72nd Street 1/2/3. Bus access via the M5, M7, M104.
