OSWEGO — Five Star Urgent Care has formally opened a new walk-in medical clinic at 200 E. 1st St. in Oswego, adding to its growing list of upstate New York locations.
The new office serves patients daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The company says its staff treats patients on a walk-in basis with most insurance accepted. Patients may view up-to-date wait times at the facility on the urgent care provider’s website.
The facility is “equipped to offer treatment for non-life-threatening ailments, such as bronchitis, sprains, strains and gastrointestinal ailments, as well as providing onsite x-rays, lab testing and diagnostics,” Five Star said in a news release.
Launched in 2012, Five Star Urgent Care opened its first clinic in Big Flats. The company continues to expand its footprint and plans to open additional offices throughout the state in 2018. Its other current locations are in Cicero, Fairmount, Fayetteville, Geneva, Greece, Ithaca, Jamestown, Lancaster, Liverpool, Oneonta, Oswego, Plattsburgh, and Vestal.
