Why Eddie Davis Appreciates the Quick, Compassionate Care at Shore Urgent Care

With 14-year-old twins, Eileen and Bridget, my household is already buzzing with back-to-school activities: The girls run cross country in the fall and play basketball year-round, and their sports practices are starting. My wife is helping them with that back to school shopping. The whole season is like Christmas — it seems to start earlier and earlier each year.

If you're running around getting ready for the new school year, one place that can make your life easier is Shore Urgent Care, 2605 Shore Road, Northfield, NJ. They offer quick, convenient school and sports physicals and may have better availability than your primary care physician. They are available by appointment or walk-in seven days a week:

• 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays through Fridays
• 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays

For a set fee of $55, you'll be able to see a practitioner with experience with students and athletes of all ages and get the documentation you need for school within a matter of minutes. It's a quick way to check that off your to-do list.

In addition, Shore Urgent Care can help with those smaller ailments that you'd like to address quickly but just don't seem serious enough for the emergency room. That includes:

• Colds, flu or viral illness
• Sprains, strains & broken bones
• Minor burns
• Cuts, scrapes, abrasions & burns
• Bronchitis / pneumonia
• Asthma attacks
• Insect bites
• Allergic reactions
• Immunizations and vaccinations
• Flu shots
• EKGs
• Digital X-Rays
• Laboratory work

They also offer COVID-19 testing, both the Rapid COVID-19 antigen, with results ready in 15 minutes, and the COVID-19 PCR test. Their providers will determine which test is best for you and your situation.

Eileen and Bridget were born at Shore Medical Center in 2006, and their whole hospital system has been there for us ever since. It's good to know that Shore Urgent Care is available and so convenient anytime we need to see a medical professional in a hurry.
