Walk-In Urgent Care for Scotch Plains Residents
Sage Urgent Care is a short drive from Scotch Plains via Route 22 and Mountain Avenue. We're a convenient walk-in option for Scotch Plains-Fanwood (SPF) families who want same-day care without driving to Trinitas, JFK Edison, or Overlook. Open 8 AM to 8 PM, every day.
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.
Up Mountain Avenue from Scotch Plains
From Scotch Plains center along Park Avenue, head west on Route 22 to the Mountain Avenue exit, then north into Mountainside and Berkeley Heights. The drive is a short one outside of Route 22 rush hour.

Why Scotch Plains patients come in
Most of our Scotch Plains patients walk in for one of these reasons:
- Sports physicals ($75) for SPF Raider student athletes — Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School and middle schools
- Sports injuries from SPFHS games, Park Middle School athletics, and weekend leagues — with on-site X-ray for suspected fractures
- Same-day walk-in care without driving to Trinitas, JFK Edison, or Overlook
- Pediatric urgent care when SPF pediatricians are closed
- Flu, strep, COVID, RSV testing with rapid results
- UTI, sinus, and ear infections
- Cuts and stitches
- DOT physicals for commercial drivers from the Route 22 corridor
Scotch Plains and the Fanwood border
Sage sees Scotch Plains residents from across the township — Park Avenue corridor families, the Watchung Lake area, residents near Echo Lake Park, and the Hetfield Avenue neighborhoods. We also see plenty of Fanwood Borough patients since SPF is integrated for many services. The Route 22 corridor means a steady stream of after-work walk-ins from professionals commuting through.
SPF Raiders: physicals, injuries, clearances
Scotch Plains-Fanwood Regional High School (SPFHS) enrolls about 1,500 students with a robust athletic program — football, soccer, basketball, lacrosse, baseball, and wrestling are particularly strong. Sage handles a regular volume of sports physicals for SPF athletes on the NJSIAA-approved physical form, plus injury evaluations during competitive seasons.
We also see students from Park Middle School, Terrill Middle School, and the five Scotch Plains-Fanwood elementary schools (Brunner, Coles, Evergreen, McGinn, and School One). For concussion management specifically, we follow CDC return-to-play guidelines and coordinate with school athletic trainers when families ask us to.

Where Scotch Plains goes for walk-in care
JFK Medical Center in Edison and Overlook Medical Center in Summit are the two closest emergency rooms for Scotch Plains residents, and they are the right destination for a genuine emergency. Emergency departments triage the sickest patients first and are billed at emergency rates, so a non-emergent problem — an ear infection, a sprain, a simple laceration — generally means a longer wait and a much higher bill wherever you go. Our self-pay visit is $150–$200, and most patients are in and out in under an hour.
For non-emergencies, Sage is a short drive from Scotch Plains and most patients are discharged in under an hour. We accept Aetna, Cigna, Horizon BCBS NJ, Oxford, UnitedHealthcare, AmeriHealth, QualCare, Medicare, and most other major plans Scotch Plains residents carry.
