Urgent Care in New Haven, CT

Need urgent care in New Haven? AFC Urgent Care West Haven is a walk-in urgent care clinic on Saw Mill Road, right off I-95 at Exit 42, about 10 to 15 minutes from downtown New Haven, the Hill, Westville, and Fair Haven. We're open seven days a week, no appointment needed, so you can see a provider today without the wait or the cost of an emergency room.

Walk-In Urgent Care for New Haven Residents

New Haven is a busy city. Between Yale, Southern Connecticut State University, the hospitals, and the restaurants and shops downtown, a lot of people live and work here, and getting a same-day appointment with a primary care doctor is not always possible. That's where we come in. Our clinic treats non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries for patients of all ages, with on-site X-rays and lab testing so most visits are handled start to finish in one stop.

Many New Haven patients find us easier to reach than a downtown clinic. There's free parking right at the door, and Saw Mill Road is a quick hop down I-95 or the Boston Post Road (Route 1) through Allingtown. We accept most major insurance plans, including Connecticut Medicaid (HUSKY), and we offer affordable self-pay pricing for patients without coverage.

What Can We Treat?

Our providers see New Haven patients for a wide range of everyday medical needs:

• Colds, flu, COVID-19, strep throat, sinus infections, bronchitis, and ear infections
• Sprains, strains, and minor fractures, plus cuts and burns
• Urinary tract infections, pink eye, skin rashes, and allergies
• Sports injuries for student athletes and weekend warriors
• STD testing and confidential screening
• School and sports physicals, wellness physicals, and pre-employment exams
• Immigration physicals, vaccinations, and flu shots
• Pediatric urgent care for kids and teens

Urgent Care vs. the ER in New Haven

For chest pain, trouble breathing, signs of a stroke, or a serious injury, call 911 or go straight to the nearest emergency room. For everything else, urgent care is usually the faster and far less expensive choice. Most visits at AFC take a fraction of the time of an ER visit, and the cost is typically closer to a regular doctor's office copay.
