Walk-In Urgent Care for Gillette, NJ Residents
Sage Urgent Care is a short drive from Gillette via Valley Road and Springfield Avenue. We're a convenient seven-day-a-week walk-in clinic for Gillette and the rest of Long Hill Township. Walk in any day from 8 AM to 8 PM, no appointment needed.
Physician-led care, every day
Sage is owned and run by two board-certified emergency medicine physicians — Dr. Jacob Silberstein and Dr. Vadim Fradlis. They practice here, they set the clinical standards, and they train the team that treats you — so the judgment behind your visit is emergency medicine judgment.
We are independent and single-location — not a franchise, and not a chain following protocols written somewhere else.
Valley Road east from Gillette
From Gillette center along Valley Road, head east toward Stirling and Berkeley Heights. The route takes you past the Gillette train station on the Gladstone Branch and the Long Hill Township municipal building. Once you cross into Berkeley Heights, follow Mountain Avenue south to Springfield Avenue. Sage Urgent Care sits on the right side at 369 Springfield Avenue — recognizable by the green awning and sage leaf logo. The full drive is short outside of school commute hours.
If you're coming during morning rush (7:30–9 AM) or afternoon school pickup (3–4 PM), allow a little extra time for traffic near Watchung Hills Regional High School. Parking is free and on-site, with handicap spaces near the entrance.
Reasons Gillette comes in
Most of our Gillette patients walk in for one of these reasons:
- Same-day walk-in care for Long Hill when your primary care or pediatrician is booked or closed
- Sports injuries from Gillette School, Watchung Hills Regional, and local recreation leagues — with on-site X-ray to evaluate possible fractures
- Sports physicals ($75) for Long Hill Township athletes
- Pediatric urgent care after hours and on weekends
- Flu, strep, COVID, RSV testing with rapid results
- UTI, sinus, and ear infections with antibiotics when needed
- Tick bite evaluation for Long Hill's wooded properties
- Cuts and stitches from yard work and household accidents
Gillette, Meyersville and the Passaic side
Sage sees Gillette residents from across the village — homes along Mountain Avenue, Valley Road, Long Hill Road, and the residential streets near Passaic River Park. Long Hill Township's overall low-density, leafy character means many properties back up to wooded areas, which translates to a year-round volume of tick bites, poison ivy rashes, and outdoor injuries we evaluate.
Long Hill students and Watchung Hills athletes
Sage sees student athletes from Watchung Hills Regional High School (which serves all of Long Hill Township), Central Middle School, and Gillette School. We also see athletes from area private schools including Oak Knoll, Pingry, and Newark Academy. NJSIAA sports physicals are $75 with same-visit form completion. We complete the standard NJ Department of Education athletic form along with the cardiac history form required by NJSIAA.

The problems Gillette families bring us
Gillette is part of Long Hill Township, a small wooded community of about 13,500 residents across Gillette, Stirling, and Millington. Many of our Gillette patients are families with school-age children — Long Hill schools have about 1,700 students between the elementary, middle, and high school levels. The most common reasons Gillette parents bring their kids to us:
- Sports injuries from Watchung Hills Regional athletics — ankle sprains, finger jams, and concussion evaluations during fall football and spring lacrosse seasons.
- Strep throat and ear infections — the elementary schools see seasonal waves we usually pick up about a week later in our walk-in volume.
- Tick bites — Long Hill's wooded terrain and proximity to Watchung Reservation mean we see tick bite consultations from May through September.
- Sports physicals before tryouts — we time appointments around Watchung Hills Regional's August and February clearance deadlines.
Why Gillette drives to Berkeley Heights
For Gillette residents, Sage Urgent Care is a convenient walk-in option for non-emergency care. Emergency departments triage the sickest patients first, so a non-critical problem can mean a long wait and a much higher bill wherever you go. Sage is a short drive via Valley Road and Mountain Avenue, and most patients are in and out in under an hour, including imaging.
For genuine emergencies — chest pain with shortness of breath, severe allergic reactions, stroke symptoms, head injury with loss of consciousness, or major trauma — go to Morristown or Overlook ER directly. For everything else, we're built for a same-day walk-in visit at urgent care pricing.
