ETMC Now Offers Express Care for Non-Emergency Needs

TYLER — ETMC First Physicians is now operating an express clinic offering walk-in urgent care at ETMC South Broadway, according to a news release. “Express clinic care means no appointments and no waiting behind patients with life-threatening emergencies,” said Dr. Steven Cooley, ETMC First Physician. “You can get fast service for minor injuries and illnesses such as broken bones, lacerations, urinary tract infections, rashes, fevers, coughs, colds, headache, sore throat, earache or flu-like symptoms.”

The express clinic is located at 6210 S. Broadway and will be open from 8 a.m.-6 p.m., Monday-Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Any patient with a need is welcome and you don’t need to be established with an ETMC physician to seek treatment, according to the news release. ETMC still offers a 24-hour emergency center and ETMC First Physicians Clinic at South Broadway.

“Patients still are encouraged to visit their regular physician, but if your physician is busy with scheduled appointments and can’t see you for your urgent care, then you could seek treatment at our express clinic,” said Dr. Cooley, who will serve patients at this location.
