Before choosing a walk-in clinic, match the address and contact details to the location you intend to visit. The Medicentral’s Newark local listing identifies a Walk-In Urgent Care at 492 Ferry St, 1st Floor Unit #2, Newark, NJ 07105, and gives the phone number +1 973-567-3992. The practice’s official website presents The MediCentral as an urgent care and aesthetics practice at 171 S Livingston Ave, Unit 3, Livingston, NJ 07039, with the phone number 862-335-0060. The supplied information does not establish whether the Newark listing and the website describe two active branches of the same practice.
Keep the Newark listing separate from the Livingston website
The different addresses are the most important distinction when planning a visit. The website’s walk-in statement appears with its Livingston location; it does not confirm walk-in access at Ferry Street. The Newark record classifies the business as Walk-In Urgent Care, but a category in a local listing is not a current schedule or confirmation that the address is open for visits. Likewise, the website’s contact details and hours should not be transferred to Newark.
If Newark is the destination, use the number shown on that local listing, +1 973-567-3992, and state the Ferry Street address when asking about a visit. If the response instead concerns Livingston, the website’s listed address and its separate number, 862-335-0060, help identify which location is being discussed. Treating the locations as distinct avoids mistaking information about one for confirmation about the other.
Use the service details to describe the care you need
The Newark listing records X-rays, lab tests, stitches and wound care, COVID and flu testing, IV fluids, and pediatric and adult care among its service signals. These are useful prompts for describing the reason for a visit, but they do not establish that every service is currently available at the Ferry Street address. Ask about the specific visit rather than relying on a broad label such as urgent care.
The official website describes urgent care for illnesses and injuries at its Livingston practice. Its listed conditions and services include strep throat, pink eye, flu testing, suture removal, ear infections, minor fractures, allergic reactions, urinary tract infections, COVID testing, skin rashes, and sprains or strains. There is some overlap with the Newark listing, but overlap alone does not show that the two locations offer the same services. A patient seeking a particular test or treatment can name it when calling and ask whether it is available at the intended address.
Match the contact and check-in option to the destination
The Newark listing gives +1 973-567-3992 and advises calling ahead to confirm wait time. The website displays 862-335-0060 alongside its Livingston details. These numbers belong to different location records in the supplied information; do not assume that either one answers for both addresses. Naming the location during the call makes it easier to get an answer that applies to the planned trip.
The local listing also displays online check-in and describes it as a way to reserve a spot in line. That listing detail does not establish which address the online option serves or guarantee a particular wait. If you use it, check that the destination shown is the one you intend to visit. This is especially relevant when the website and local listing present different locations.
Read hours and insurance information in context
The official website lists hours of 8 AM to 8 PM on weekdays and 8 AM to 6 PM on weekends for its Livingston presentation. The supplied local details do not give Newark hours, so the website schedule does not answer when the Ferry Street listing is open. Similarly, the website’s statement that it accepts most major insurances, along with its named plans—Aetna, Cigna, BlueCross BlueShield, Medicare, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, and Oxford—does not confirm coverage for a Newark visit or for a particular service. The website asks patients to call to verify coverage.
When timing or payment affects your choice, ask about the intended location and visit type. This keeps two separate questions clear: whether the location can handle the care sought, and whether the schedule or insurance information applies to that location. The local record’s advice to confirm insurance supports checking rather than assuming coverage from a general listing.
Choose based on the location you can confirm
For someone looking in Newark, the local record supplies a specific Ferry Street address, phone number, and recorded service signals. The official website supplies a different Livingston address, phone number, service description, insurance information, and hours. Those details can help you decide what to ask, but the available information does not resolve whether Ferry Street is currently operating as a branch of the website-described practice.
Use the Newark details only for questions about the Newark listing, and the website’s Livingston details for that listed location. If the Newark address cannot be confirmed for the visit you need, the Livingston website is relevant only if Livingston is a suitable destination for you. The practical decision is to select a specific location first, then rely on service, timing, and coverage information that is explicitly tied to it.
