Walk-In Urgent Care for Basking Ridge Families
Sage Urgent Care is a short drive east from Basking Ridge to 369 Springfield Avenue in Berkeley Heights. We’re a seven-day walk-in option for Bernards Township families when the pediatrician is booked, the injury happened on a Saturday, or you’d rather not spend the evening in an emergency room. Open 8 AM to 8 PM, every day, no appointment.

Sage is owned and run by two board-certified emergency medicine physicians who practice here and set the clinical standards: Dr. Jacob Silberstein and Dr. Vadim Fradlis.
We are independent and single-location — not a franchise.
Getting here from Bernards Township
Most Basking Ridge drivers come east on Interstate 78 toward Berkeley Heights, or take local roads east through Long Hill Township, where Valley Road leads into Springfield Avenue. Either way, the trip is short, and there is free parking in our own lot right at the door.
If you commute on NJ Transit, the Basking Ridge and Lyons stations sit on the Gladstone Branch, the same line that runs through Berkeley Heights and Murray Hill.
Common reasons Basking Ridge patients walk in:
- Sports injuries from Ridge High School, William Annin Middle School and township club leagues, with on-site X-ray in the same visit
- Sports physicals ($75) and school physicals completed on the NJ form the same day
- Pediatric urgent care for children 3 months and older when your pediatrician’s office is closed
- Tick bite evaluation after hikes in Lord Stirling Park or time in wooded backyards
- Flu, strep, COVID and RSV testing with rapid results on site
- Cuts and stitches from the kitchen, the garage or the soccer field
- Occupational health and DOT physicals for employers and drivers based in the township
Basking Ridge, Liberty Corner and Lyons
Sage welcomes patients from every part of Bernards Township: the historic village center around the Presbyterian church and the Brick Academy, the Liberty Corner section, Lyons, and the newer neighborhoods off the I-287 corridor. Whether you’re near the train or out by the open space on the township’s edge, we’re a short drive.
Ridge High School athletes
Every sports season brings rolled ankles, jammed fingers, and the occasional collision that needs an X-ray to rule out a fracture. We can image, splint and give you return-to-play guidance and paperwork in one visit, and refer to orthopedics when it’s needed. For pre-season, the NJ athletic pre-participation physical is $75 self-pay, walk-in, and signed before you leave.

What brings Basking Ridge families in
Bernards Township families tend to come to us for a handful of reasons:
- Weekend and evening injuries: sprains, wrist injuries and cuts that happen after the pediatrician’s office has closed. On-site X-ray means a possible fracture gets answered in one visit.
- Ticks after time outdoors: Lord Stirling Park, local trails and wooded yards make tick exposure common from spring through fall. We remove ticks, assess Lyme risk and prescribe preventive antibiotics when it’s appropriate.
- Fevers, sore throats and ear infections: rapid strep, flu and COVID testing on site, with treatment started the same visit.
- Commuter-hour care: open until 8 PM, so you can be seen after a day in the city or at the office.
Urgent care or the ER?
If your child twisted an ankle at practice or needs a few stitches, the emergency room is usually the slowest and most expensive place to go. Those are exactly the visits Sage is set up for, with an X-ray suite and lab testing down the hall.
Anything life-threatening is different: chest pain, a stroke, severe bleeding or trouble breathing means 911 or the nearest ER.
