New Urgent Care Extra Location Opens on College and Horizon

Published on Thu, Aug 7, 2014 (11:31 a.m.)

Urgent Care Extra, one of the largest Urgent Care networks in the country, opened its newest location on August 8, 2014 at 585 College Drive, Suite C, Henderson, Nevada. There are now 10 Urgent Care Extra locations in the greater Las Vegas area.

As with all of the Urgent Care Extra clinics, the new location is staffed by caring medical professionals to offer patients a full range of non–life-threatening illnesses and injuries without an appointment. Instead of waiting for hours in crowded hospital emergency rooms, patients with broken bones, abdominal pain, back pain, lacerations, or other illness and injuries requiring immediate treatment receive prompt attention at an Urgent Care Extra walk in clinic.

Additionally, all Urgent Care Extra locations can provide student physicals, doctor-supervised prescription weight loss programs, annual wellness checkups, treatment of cold and flu symptoms and much more. Clinics are fully equipped with the latest technology to ensure that patients are treated thoroughly and quickly – including on-site x-rays and medications. Walk-ins are welcome without an appointment from 8 a.m. until 9 p.m. every day of the year.

Drs. Jeff Sawyer and Doug Hobbs are board certified in emergency medicine and founded Urgent Care Extra eleven years ago to improve upon the way urgent medical was delivered in hospital emergency rooms. Dr. Sawyer said: “Patients should not have to wait in crowded emergency rooms to receive urgent care. Our patients receive prompt and attentive care and treatment from a medical staff that takes the time to get to know them and their needs.”

Patients will find the same comprehensive medical services and personal attention available at all Urgent Care Extra clinics. A map showing all 10 Nevada locations can be found on www.ucextra.com.

About Urgent Care Extra

Since opening its first clinic eleven years ago, Urgent Care Extra has become the alternative to the long waits and impersonal doctor-patient relationships of the traditional hospital emergency rooms. The no-appointment necessary concept of offering urgent and non-urgent medical care in a pleasant atmosphere caught on with the public. What began as one clinic providing urgent medical care to see if people were ready for change has now grown to 33 clinics in two states.
