No emergency is minor when it affects you and your family. That's why we give major attention to every bump, cut, and cough we treat. Because we specialize in minor emergencies, we can offer faster service too. In most cases, patients are on their way home within 90 minutes.
While it's always best to call your doctor when you need medical care, sometimes he or she isn't available. At times like these, turn to Brighton FirstCare for walk-in treatment. Our medical team will tend to you and your family as quickly as possible. Then we'll forward the record of your visit to your regular doctor for follow-up care.
