New Peabody Urgent Care Opens On Andover Street This Week

PEABODY, MA — North Shore residents have a new option for emergency medical care with the opening of the ConvenientMD location at 210 Andover Street on Tuesday.

The clinic, which will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily with no appointment necessary, recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Peabody Mayor Ted Bettencourt and members of the staff and Chamber of Commerce.

The Peabody ConvenientMD clinic treats a broad range of illnesses and injuries — from colds, coughs, and the flu, to injuries requiring stitches and X-rays for broken bones. The clinic also offers COVID-19 testing, free flu shots, $50 youth sports physicals, IV fluids, EKGs and employer health services.

Most insurances are accepted, but not required.

"Since opening our first clinic 10 years ago, ConvenientMD has been proud to fulfill a need in our communities for fast, affordable and quality urgent care services," ConvenientMD Co-Founder and CEO Gareth Dickens said. "The Peabody location is no exception. The clinic is staffed by exceptional local physicians, providers, nurses, X-ray techs, and other medical professionals who look forward to delivering the best medical care to patients of all ages in a welcoming and friendly environment."

The Peabody location is the 36th Convenient MD location to open across Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire. A Saugus location will also be opening soon.

ConvenientMD also offers Virtual Urgent Care from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., 7 days a week, for minor care needs, such as COVID-19 evaluation, sinus infection, sore throat, and pink eye.

Patients can enroll remotely by calling 833-263-0131.
