Finding a Better Way for Urgent Care
Our practice manager, Milly Smith, PA-C, says, “After working in the emergency room for eight years, I realized that there could be a quicker, faster, and more efficient way to delivering care to patients with urgent needs. I learned that patients who are acutely ill want to be seen quickly, receive their care, pick up their prescriptions, and then head home to rest. The average wait in an emergency room is two hours. I decided to create a model that would minimize wait time for patients while maximizing patient care and treatment plans. I wanted to create a home-like environment where patients would come into a medical office but feel like they were visiting a friend's home. I wanted patients to feel like their concerns were being heard and addressed accordingly, instead of feeling ignored and disappointed. I wanted to create a productive work environment that was conducive to learning, listening, and treating patients with respect and importance. In the past 12 years, I have achieved all of my goals and my urgent care work model has been very successful.”
