MedCenter Opens New Midtown Facility

MedCenter, Tulsa's longest-established provider of urgent care services, is now a "family of three" with the January 2007 opening of MedCenter Midtown at 1623 S. Utica Avenue in Tulsa. The third MedCenter facility is designed to provide medical care of the same high quality that MedCenter physicians have provided to area residents for approximately 30 years.

MedCenter's facility design and medical care concepts are centered on quick and easy access, immediate evaluation by professionals certified and trained in emergency care, diagnoses encompassing on-site X-ray and laboratory services, and a treatment plan promoting recovery as quickly as possible.

Midtown has extended hours – 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday to ensure our healthcare professionals are available when you need us!

From entry to exit, each patient is at the center of an encompassing array of urgent care specialty services.

MedCenter Midtown is designed to offer quick, convenient and complete urgent care to patients of all ages with acute non-life-threatening problems, such as serious sprains, fractures, unusual pain, injuries, back complications, infections, allergies, and respiratory disorders. If patients require more intensive levels of care or hospitalization, they are referred to the hospital of their choice.

Additionally, MedCenter offers comprehensive occupational medicine services for area businesses, including physical exams, drug and alcohol screening, on-site safety consultations, and more.

The newest MedCenter Midtown features:

• Parking for more than 40 vehicles
• 6,000-square-foot facility on one level
• Front door access and walk-in without appointments
• Ten examination rooms
• A 10-member staff of board-certified emergency care physicians and certified physician's assistants trained in emergency care
• Complete on-site laboratory and X-ray equipment and services
• Telemedicine linkage to clinical personnel at other MedCenter locations, providing capability for "real time" visual and audio interaction between patient and clinical staff for additional diagnosis and evaluation
• Minimal waiting time. Most patients are in and out in less than two hours
• Affordable alternative to hospital emergency rooms. The average cost is only slightly more than at a physician's office and almost half the expense incurred at a hospital emergency room
• All major insurance programs are accepted. Additionally, for uninsured patients, a 15 percent total discount is available.
• Design and construction: Danny Mitchell, architect, and Ron Rupe Building Co., construction.

For nearly 30 years, MedCenter has focused exclusively on providing Tulsa area residents experienced and convenient urgent care services. During that time, a total of about 1 million patients have been treated at the original MedCenter, 29th & Garnett, and MedCenter South at 10221 E. 81st Street.
