Pediatric urgent care near me in Wantagh, NY

Dr. Timur Ruzehaj was so friendly and knowledgeable! He even took the time to show me different diagrams and explain exactly what was wrong.

Easy appointments On time Admin Staff very good Dr Mike very good

Very pleased with the overall experience here. Receptionist was very pleasant as well as the support staff we encountered. Saw Dr. Mary Wolter who was very personable and easy to talk to. She performed a thorough exam and answered any questions or concerns we had. Never felt rushed. Office and patient rooms were immaculate.

I have been to this facility a few times when I have had to take my child in times when her Pediatrician was away. They have taken care of her and even given me a referral so that I may take her to a specialist to further evaluate her. It's not very far from my home at all. I'm glad they are also available after my child gets out of school, since her pediatrican's last appt. is at 3:30, I have time to go to Metro-UrgiCare and feel reassured.

Was able to book a time slot on a Sunday. Not every place is open on a Sunday, but this place was! Quick and efficient service. Place is very clean. Only downfall is that there is a restroom in the waiting area for employees only. Would be nice to have it available for us patients!

It was the evening of July 3. I had experienced clogged sinuses along with gum and tooth pain previously but this time it was much worse than usual. This time I was also experiencing pain on swallowing.  Over a period of time (years) I was in a vicious cycle between my dentist, Endodontist, and ENT. No one could figure it out. The dentist and Endodontist felt that a back tooth might need extraction.  None of these were not respected practitioners.  So in going to Urgent Care at the Nathaniel Place location my expectations were modest.  But I felt awful.  The young woman that performed my intake was very professional and noted all my symptoms. Then PA Timothy While came in to examine me. He too was extremely professional. He LISTENED  carefully to all my symptoms - whole cloth - and noted as well the symptoms that I lacked, such as running a temperature.  My final helpful “add” to describing my symptoms to him was that “I just feel really crummy”.   PA White absolutely nailed the diagnosis.  He felt that it was sinus related and that a post nasal drip was causing inflammation and creating all this pain. He clearly EXPLAINED why he felt that this was the correct diagnosis. He prescribed a very short course of Prednisone plus a 14-day treatment with Fluticasone Proprionate.  Within one day of taking the Prednisone and using the spray I was on the mend.   I no longer felt anxious going into the holiday weekend.   Two dentists and an ENT couldn’t figure it out. Timothy White did.  I don’t often answer surveys and I am fairly critical in general. But, though belated, I felt it necessary to detail my experience and give a little more than “a shout out”.  In my humble opinion PA White would make a great D.O.  My best, Elena Schwartz
