ClearChoiceMD Urgent Care has opened its newest walk-in clinic in downtown Rochester.
“Rochester is one of New Hampshire’s largest and fastest growing cities, but until now, options for urgent medical care were limited. This new center will help alleviate the strain on primary care physicians and help prevent unnecessary emergency room visits by providing residents with a flexible urgent care option closer to home,” said Clear-ChoiceMD Urgent Care founder and CEO Dr. Marcus Hampers.
The Rochester ClearChoiceMD center delivers on-demand care for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries, sprains and strains, minor burns, coughs, sore throats and flu-like symptoms. Additionally, the center offers Covid-19 testing, physicals, vaccinations and occupational health services. The state-of-the-art facility also has on-site laboratory and X-ray services, as well as prescription medications patients can take home.
The Rochester clinic is the Concord-based ClearChoiceMD’s 19th in New England, with two more planned for openings later this year.
