Walk-In Urgent Care for New Providence, NJ Residents
Sage Urgent Care is just two miles east of downtown New Providence on Springfield Avenue. For most New Providence residents, we're a convenient urgent care that's open seven days a week with on-site X-ray and labs.
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.
Two miles down Springfield Avenue
From the New Providence town center, take Springfield Avenue east — we're at 369 Springfield Avenue in Berkeley Heights, on your left just past the town border. Free on-site parking, no parking meters. If you're coming from the south side of New Providence near Salt Brook School or Murray Hill, the trip is even shorter.
What New Providence families walk in for
Most of our New Providence patients walk in for one of these reasons:
- Same-day strep, flu, and COVID testing when your child wakes up with a fever
- Sports physicals for New Providence High School and Salt Brook athletes — NJSIAA forms completed in 30 minutes
- Walk-in vaccinations — flu shots and Tdap/tetanus boosters
- Cuts requiring stitches from kitchen accidents, falls, and yard work
- X-rays for suspected fractures — on-site digital imaging, no separate trip to a radiology center
- UTI, sinus infection, and ear infection treatment with antibiotics same visit
- DOT and CDL physicals for commercial drivers
Serving New Providence and Murray Hill
Sage Urgent Care is a short drive south of central New Providence via Springfield Avenue. We see patients from across the borough:
We see patients from across the area — Downtown New Providence (around Springfield Avenue and South Street), The Salt Brook / Roosevelt school zones, Allen W. Roberts / Roberts School area, Lincoln School neighborhood, The Murray Hill side of New Providence — see also our Murray Hill page and Areas near the train station — convenient stop on the way home from the city. Whichever side of town you start from, you can walk in without an appointment any day from 8 AM to 8 PM, park free on site, and have X-ray and lab work done in the same visit rather than being sent somewhere else for imaging.
When New Providence gets busy
- Late summer: Back-to-school physicals for New Providence Public Schools and the area's private schools. New Providence High School student-athletes need NJSIAA forms completed before fall sports practice begins, and we handle these same-visit.
- Fall: Flu shots, persistent respiratory symptoms, and seasonal allergy flares. With several wooded areas and parks throughout the borough (including Centennial Park), ragweed and mold drive allergic symptoms through October.
- Winter: Strep, flu, COVID, RSV in young kids, and the standard upper respiratory mix. Rapid testing on-site lets families avoid the days-long wait for outside lab results.
- Spring: Tree pollen allergies, sinus infections, and the start of tick season. The wooded trails around New Providence and adjacent Berkeley Heights mean tick exposure is a real concern from May onward — we evaluate, remove, and provide Lyme prophylaxis when CDC criteria are met.
- Summer: Camp physicals, poison ivy reactions, swimmer's ear, summer sports injuries, and tick bites from yards, parks, and weekend outdoor activities.

- Documentation ready before you leave: signed work or school notes, sports clearance forms, immunization record updates, and visit summaries.
X-ray, labs and rapid testing on site
Most New Providence 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.
