Walk-In Urgent Care for Murray Hill, NJ Residents
Murray Hill runs on two clocks: the train and the campus. Sage is a five-minute drive from both the Murray Hill station and the Nokia Bell Labs site, open until 8 PM every day — so a walk-in fits into a lunch break or the ride home rather than costing you a day off. We're at 369 Springfield Avenue in Berkeley Heights, just east of Murray Hill.
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.
Minutes from Murray Hill
From the Murray Hill train station and the Bell Labs / Nokia campus area, take Central Avenue or Diamond Hill Road to Springfield Avenue, then head east. We're a few minutes away. Free on-site parking is available. For Bell Labs / Nokia and nearby corporate employees, we're a convenient seven-day urgent care for occupational health needs and after-hours medical visits.
What Murray Hill patients walk in for
Most of our Murray Hill patients walk in for one of these reasons:
- Workplace injuries including minor cuts, sprains, eye irritation, and ergonomic-related musculoskeletal issues
- DOT physicals and CDL exams for commercial drivers
- Same-day flu, COVID, and strep testing when illness hits before a workday or trip
- Walk-in vaccinations — flu shots and Tdap/tetanus boosters
- Sports physicals for kids in Murray Hill (NJSIAA-compliant)
- Common illnesses — sinus infection, ear infection, UTI, bronchitis, pink eye
- X-ray for suspected fractures with same-visit imaging and reading
Fitting a visit around the train
Murray Hill is a section of New Providence with its own station on NJ Transit's Gladstone Branch, and a commuter population to match. That shapes what we see and when.
Because we're open until 8 PM seven days a week and take walk-ins with no appointment, most commuters handle it on the way home rather than burning a weekday. Come straight from the station, get the strep swab or the X-ray, and leave with the result and the treatment the same visit. Nothing to book, nothing to come back for.
Weekday evenings are our busiest commuter stretch. If you'd rather not wait, the live wait time at the top of this page updates continuously, or call (908) 363-0378 before you leave the platform.
Care for the Nokia Bell Labs campus and nearby employers
The Bell Labs site puts a large daytime working population a few minutes from our door, and we're set up for it. A walk-in visit fits inside a lunch break, and everything is handled in one stop rather than referred out.
- Workplace injuries — cuts needing stitches, sprains, eye irritation, and ergonomic strain, with workers' compensation documentation completed before you leave
- On-site X-ray and labs — no second appointment somewhere else for imaging or bloodwork
- DOT and CDL physicals by a certified medical examiner, walk-in
- Employer drug and alcohol testing, including DOT-regulated collections
- Pre-employment and fitness-for-duty exams
- Employer accounts and direct billing — no setup needed to send your first employee; give us the company name and we'll route the paperwork back
When Murray Hill needs us most
- Weekday evenings, all year: our busiest Murray Hill stretch. Commuters coming off the train with a sore throat, a cough that has gone on too long, or an injury from earlier in the day — evaluated, tested and treated in one visit rather than a morning off later in the week.
- Weekday lunch hours: campus and nearby office workers. Workplace injuries, DOT physicals, and illness that needs an answer before a flight or a client meeting.
- Fall: flu shots before or after the train, no appointment. Respiratory illness picks up as commuting and school schedules restart.
- Winter: strep, flu, COVID and RSV, with rapid testing on site. A shared train car moves these quickly — same-day testing is the point.
- Late summer: school and sports physicals for New Providence schools and area private schools, NJSIAA forms signed the same visit.
- Spring and summer: tick bites from yards and trails (New Jersey has high Lyme incidence), sports injuries, and poison ivy.
Walking in from Murray Hill: what happens
- Walk in any day, 8 AM to 8 PM. No appointment. Average wait 15–30 minutes; call (908) 363-0378 or check the live wait time at the top of this page for a current estimate.

- Short registration at the front desk — about 5 minutes.
- On-site evaluation, testing, and imaging: X-ray, EKG, rapid strep / flu / COVID / RSV / mono / urinalysis / pregnancy testing, lacerations and stitches, splinting, breathing treatments, IV fluids when needed.
- Documentation ready same-visit: work and school notes, sports clearance forms, immunization records, and visit summaries — completed before you leave.
Rapid testing, labs and X-ray on site
Most Murray Hill visits fall into a few clear categories. Same-visit sports physicals and school physicals get students cleared for the season. DOT physicals handle commercial driver certification. For illness, our most common visits cover strep throat, flu, sinus infections, UTIs, and ear infections — most diagnosed and treated in a single visit.
For injuries, on-site X-ray means fracture care, sprains, and lacerations needing stitches are all handled the same visit. Workers' comp evaluations and EKG testing are also walk-in.
Parents bring kids to Sage for pediatric urgent care when their pediatrician isn't available — fevers, ear pain, rashes, minor injuries. Vaccinations including flu shots and tetanus boosters are walk-in, no appointment needed.
