+MEDRITE Astoria offers services such as professional care for urgent needs such as minor injuries, wound care, fractures, dislocations, burns, allergic reactions, acute illness and infections, as well as less urgent needs such as physical exams, sexual health testing, vaccinations, well-woman exams and more.
