Emily and the entire staff at EmUrgentCare in Saugerties helped turn our nightmare of a day into one with a lighthearted ending. When my fiancé was badly bitten by a dog and needed 12 stitches in his chin, Emily was confident, kept us calm and stayed 1.5 hours past closing time to make sure we were taken care of. The staff here truly embody what it means to be in health care and put us all at ease on a very stressful day.

I came in one day without an appoint and waited two hours as a walk-in before I had to leave without being tested. I made an appointment through Quest Lab Testing for the next day, showed up on time, got tested easily and was on my way in 15-20 minutes. Staff is friendly and helpful.
