Walk-In Urgent Care for Millburn, NJ Residents
Sage Urgent Care is a short drive from Millburn via Route 24 or Springfield Avenue. We're a closer option than driving to Saint Barnabas, Overlook Hospital, or Mountainside Medical for many Millburn families seeking walk-in care. Open 8 AM to 8 PM, 7 days a week, 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.
West from Millburn on Route 24
From Millburn center along Millburn Avenue, take Vauxhall Road or Springfield Avenue west through Springfield Township into Berkeley Heights. The drive is a short one in regular traffic. If you live on the Wyoming or South Mountain side of Millburn, Route 24 west to Springfield Avenue is often faster.
From the train station area along Essex Street, head north to Millburn Avenue, then west. Free on-site parking is available at our clinic with no parking meters or time limits.
Reasons Millburn comes in
Most of our Millburn patients walk in for one of these reasons:
- Sports physicals ($75) for Millburn High School Millers student athletes
- Sports injuries from MHS games, middle school athletics, and weekend leagues — with on-site X-ray to evaluate fractures
- Walk-in care without driving to Saint Barnabas, Overlook, or Mountainside Medical
- Pediatric urgent care when Millburn pediatricians are closed
- Flu, rapid flu testing, strep, COVID, RSV testing
- UTI, sinus, and ear infections with antibiotics when needed
- Cuts, lacerations, and stitches
- DOT physicals for commercial drivers
Millburn Center, Wyoming and South Mountain
Sage sees Millburn patients from across the township — Millburn Center residents, families along Millburn Avenue, the Wyoming section, and patients near the South Mountain Reservation. Many Millburn families come to Sage because the appointment availability at primary care offices and Saint Barnabas-affiliated practices can be tight, and we're a faster option than the Mall area medical facilities. The Millburn train station area generates a steady volume of commuter walk-ins.
Millburn Millers: physicals and injuries
Millburn Township public schools — Millburn High School, Millburn Middle School, and the five elementary schools (Deerfield, Glenwood, Hartshorn, South Mountain, Wyoming) — collectively enroll about 5,000 students. We handle sports physicals on the form Millburn requires, treat sports injuries for fall football and soccer / winter basketball and wrestling / spring track and lacrosse, and provide return-to-play clearances after concussions or other injuries.
We also see students from Newark Academy, Pingry School (Short Hills/Basking Ridge), and Saint Rose of Lima Catholic School. Each school has slightly different physical exam forms; we keep recent versions on file and can complete what your school requires during the visit.
Coverage, copays and self-pay
Sage Urgent Care accepts most major insurance plans used by Millburn residents — Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield Horizon NJ, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare, and many others. Self-pay rates are available for uninsured patients: most visits run $150–$200, sports physicals are $75, DOT physicals are $90–$120. See what we accept and what a visit costs.

Why Millburn families make the drive
Millburn and the surrounding Essex County area have many urgent care options closer than Berkeley Heights — but a steady stream of Millburn families come to Sage anyway. The most common reasons:
- Calmer environment than busier urban locations. Sage sees fewer patients per day than the larger chain urgent cares along Route 22 or in Springfield Township, so wait times are typically shorter.
- Comprehensive on-site services. X-rays, EKG, rapid testing, and laceration repair all happen in the same visit — no referrals to imaging centers for minor injuries.
- Real continuity for follow-up. Because we're a small independent clinic, returning patients usually see the same providers and don't need to re-explain history.
- Same-day insurance verification. Our front desk can check Millburn-area plan coverage (Horizon, Aetna, Cigna, Oxford) before treatment begins.
