“Urgent care centers provide a vital service to the community, particularly in areas where primary care providers are booked solid or are non-existent,” says Robert Biernbaum, D.O, Chief Medical Officer at WellNow Urgent Care. “WellNow offers more services than the average PCP, including X-rays and sutures, so patients can be treated right away without having to go to the emergency department, where they’ll face long wait times and an expensive bill.”

The new center in South Elgin will provide timely evaluation and treatment for ailments such as colds and flu, COVID-19, RSV, sprains, burns, and lacerations, as well as on-site X-rays, lab testing and physicals.
