Quality healthcare around the corner

Quality medical care doesn’t have to consist of long waits and high costs. First Med offers fast, affordable and efficient medical treatment for a variety of minor illnesses and injuries.
From sports injuries, suturing and x-rays, to treatment of sore throats, coughs and colds, First Med is the one-spot stop for treatments of all minor ailments-with no appointments needed. All patients, aside from those in need of occupational, travelers or immigration physicals, just have to walk-in to receive medical treatment.
“Most people are seen within the hour,” explained Dr. Barry Brumberg, who has been working with First Med since its opening in 1983. “We offer the same quality of care and expertise as an emergency room with less of a wait since emergency rooms have to treat life-threatening and serious medical conditions as well.”
First Med is open seven days a week, and offers its services at three convenient locations in Bayside, Mineola and Glendale. The hours vary slightly among the three locations, but they offer identical care and quality of service.
Bayside: First Med is located at 210-21 Northern Boulevard. For more information, call (718) 224-8855.
Glendale: First Med is located at 82-17 Woodhaven Boulevard. To learn more, call (718) 805-9581.

So the next time you are seeking treatment for a burn, fracture, eye- or ear problem, just walk into your closest First Med facility and see what quick, quality medical care is all about.
“We’ve been doing this for 23 years,” noted Dr. Brumberg. “Probably someone you know, like a family member or a friend, has been here before. We’ve seen a lot of people.”
