Walk-In Injury Care for Greater Waterbury
A sprained ankle at Fulton Park or a weekend sports injury doesn't hold until Monday. Our Chase Avenue physicians evaluate and treat you the same day, and our on-site X-ray confirms fractures without sending you to a separate imaging facility.

- Sprains and Strains: Physician evaluation with on-site imaging and same-day care plan
- Minor Fractures: Digital X-ray with splinting or casting at Chase Avenue
- Lacerations and Wound Care: Professional closure and infection prevention

Illness Diagnosis & Sick Visit Care
Sudden illness disrupts daily routines for Downtown professionals and Waterbury families alike. Our physicians identify the cause of your symptoms and begin treatment the same visit, so you leave Chase Avenue with a clear diagnosis and a prescription when needed.

Weekend Urgent Care in Waterbury
Saturday and Sunday health concerns affect Waterbury families just as often as weekday ones. Our Chase Avenue clinic stays open both weekend days, 8 am–4 pm, so a Sunday morning fever or a Saturday afternoon sprain gets physician attention the same day without an ER visit.
Patients from Bunker Hill and the Brooklyn neighborhood rely on our weekend hours because the alternative, a Waterbury hospital emergency room, means hours of waiting behind critical cases for a non-emergency condition.

- Walk-In Access: No appointment required on Saturday or Sunday
- Pediatric Urgent Care: Same-day care for children's injuries and illnesses
- Injury Evaluation: On-site X-ray and imaging available during weekend hours
