Urgent Care Center Of NYC lists its address as 952 5th Avenue, New York, NY 10075. The block sits in Lenox Hill near 76th Street, on Fifth Avenue between the Frick Collection and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Upper East Side’s Mile of Museums corridor and the surrounding residential streets produce a particular walk-in demographic.
The UES walk-in patient mix
Lenox Hill and Carnegie Hill walk-in visits skew toward an older patient demographic compared to younger Manhattan neighborhoods. Visit reasons skew toward respiratory infections, chronic-condition acute flares, minor injuries, and travel medicine (vaccinations and prophylaxis for international travel). Museum visitors occasionally walk in for acute injury or illness.
The independent clinic versus chain trade-off
Independent urgent-care clinics often offer longer evaluation windows and more individualized attention than larger chains. The trade-off is shorter operating hours and potentially fewer in-house diagnostic capabilities. Asking on the first call about available services (radiography, on-site labs, IV hydration) clarifies the clinical scope.
Calling ahead
The listed number is +1 212-XXX-XXXX. Independent clinics often prefer appointment-based intake over walk-ins; the call should confirm the visit model.
