Simsbury Resident is Managing Partner of New Urgent Care Center Facility

Submitted release 

The second Doctors Express urgent care medical facility in Connecticut will open in the Boulevard Shops at 1030 Boulevard in West Hartford.  The building which formerly housed a Blockbuster Video Store is slated for renovations, and doors to the urgent care walk in clinic are expected open to patients this winter. With a staff of board certified Physicians, Physician Assistants and APRN’s, x-ray technicians, and medical assistants, the urgent care center will employ between 15-20 full and part-time employees.

“West Hartford made sense to us as our next urgent care center for many reasons, not the least of which is because I am from this area and our medical director and his family are from West Hartford,” said Tom Kelly of West Simsbury, managing partner.  

Kelly stressed that “the eastern section of West Hartford and West End of Hartford are lacking an urgent care center that caters exclusively to walk in traffic. At Doctors Express we are purely Urgent Care.  We do not take appointments, and every patient walking through our doors is given high priority.  Our objective is to offer, fast, efficient and affordable care and to have patients treated and out the door in less than one hour.”

“The intent of the facility is not to compete with area hospitals or primary care physicians, but to complement their services and make convenient care easily accessible to the town of West Hartford and all the surrounding communities.”   

Kelly added: “Not only will Doctors Express help reduce the burden of overworked emergency departments, but it will cut down the wait time for patients with non-life threatening emergencies. Also, with a CVS next door, patients will conveniently be able to fill their prescriptions without having to drive to the pharmacy.”

Just like its sister facility in Danbury, the state of the art facility will have its own on-site laboratory and digital x-ray equipment enabling doctors to diagnose and treat illnesses, and set broken bones, all under one roof.  Additional services will include all typical urgent care services, plus pre-employment exams, drug testing, breath alcohol tests, sports and school physicals, DOT physicals, pre-surgical physicals and vaccinations, including travel vaccinations.

Doctors Express always has a Spanish speaking staff member on duty.

Doctors Express West Hartford will accept most insurance’s including Medicaid and Medicare, as well as affordable cash and credit card rates for self-pay patients.
