Physician Now Urgent Care is a joint venture between Dr. Emily Venteicher, board certified in Emergency Medicine and Dr. Molly Mathews, board certified in Emergency Medicine and Pediatrics.  Dr. Venteicher and Dr. Mathews have worked in urban and suburban emergency departments for the last ten years and have seen the lengthy waits patients have to endure.  Many of these patients are not suffering from life-threatening conditions.  

 We feel we can provide an alternative to the ED for these non-emergent patients.  Physician Now Urgent Care does not take the place of your primary care physician, but rather offers you medical care when you are unable to see your doctor or for issues not typically cared for in your doctor's office.
