MD Now Urgent Care Centers” Opens New Boynton Beach Location - Sees Unprecedented Growth in Palm Beach County, Florida
Urgent care – Boynton Beach style. MD Now Urgent Care / Walk-in Medical Centers, - Palm Beach County’s fastest growing medical business – has recently opened its fifth “state of the art” medical Clinic in Boynton Beach, Florida’s “Gateway to the Gulfstream”. Its sixth and largest medical center is set to open this November 2009 in the West Palm Beach.
Boynton Beach, FL, October 07, 2009 --(PR.com)-- MD Now Urgent Care Centers, a Palm Beach County company which provides urgent and medical care to the public and occupational healthcare services to businesses, has opened another new location at the NE corner of Gateway Boulevard and N. Congress Ave at the Shoppes at Boynton, in the booming city of Boynton Beach, Florida.
The upscale Urgent Care center, owned by Dr Peter Lamelas, is the fifth of its kind to open in Palm Beach County. Dr Lamelas, a Board Certified Emergency physician and former ER Director for over 17 years, hit a home run when he opened the first medical center in Lake Worth, a suburb of West Palm Beach, in January of 2005.
The new Urgent Care clinic boasts an atmosphere more reminiscent of a day spa than a cold and sterile medical clinic - with bottled water in the waiting room, granite countertops and artwork of natural surroundings throughout. Every patient room is a private and is equipped with its own flat screen television set. But patients shouldn’t get too comfortable, however, since most of them will be seen, treated and released in less than an hour.
All MD Now Urgent Care Centers are staffed with board certified physicians and open 12 hours a day, every day, evening’s weekends and all holidays from 8 am in the morning until 8 o’clock at night. All of the centers have onsite digital X-ray, in-house labs and provide EKG’s for those who need them. The facilities provide comprehensive walk-in medical care for any of life’s little unexpected injuries or illnesses, as well as have appointments available for even speedier service.
In addition to accepting self-pay patients or those with commercial insurance plans, MD Now Urgent Care is a provider for all major insurance companies, including Aetna, Vista, Blue Cross-Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Cigna, Humana, AvMed, Multi-Plan, Medicare, and many others.
The centers also provide Flu shots and Flu treatments, school, sports and camp physicals, D.O.T. physicals, Immigration exams, confidential HIV and STD testing, treatment of cuts, wounds and laceration repairs - even FAA pilot medical exams and provide all school and travel vaccines.
A growing list of businesses refer their injured workers, drug screens and physical exams to MD Now because of their convenient hours and locations – most occupational medicine clinics close at 5pm – and for obvious economic reasons: The cost of urgent care is often less than one quarter of the cost of a visit to an emergency room or hospital based “Fast Track” unit.
To what does Dr Lamelas attribute MD Now’s success?
“Our centers are successful because I am involved in every aspect of our business. When I opened my own place, I wanted MD Now Urgent Care to be the opposite of a crazy hospital emergency room! I focused on making our entire staff patient service oriented, having our patients seen, treated and released promptly and efficiently, being affordable and providing the highest quality professional medical care in a beautiful “state of the art” facility.
Dr Lamelas’ urgent care centers utilize a sophisticated computer system with all electronic medical records. Patient waiting times are monitored and providers will be alerted immediately if they have reached the maximum threshold for wait times.
The urgent care centers have been so successful that Dr Lamelas, who also has a Master’s degree in Business Administration from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, is scheduled to open a sixth location late November 2009. Set in the heart of West Palm Beach and twice the size of any of its predecessors, it will be MD Now’s “flagship” medical facility.
“As Owner and Medical Director, I oversee my operations every day, both personally and via computer,” says Dr Lamelas. “I monitor the wait times, the courtesy and efficiency of the ancillary staff and the quality of the medical care being provided – every day!”
“No hospital or corporate medical entity could ever do that.”
