AFC Doctors Express Urgent Care Expands to Stoneham

AFC Doctors Express Urgent Care today announced the opening of a 4,000 square foot new state-of-the-art urgent care facility in Stoneham, expanding access to high-quality health care for residents in the area. The clinic is the fifteenth AFC Doctors Express Urgent Care location in Massachusetts. As one of the largest urgent care networks in the United States, AFC Doctors Express is staffed by board-certified physicians and has earned exceptionally high patient satisfaction by providing quality care in a convenient, lower-cost setting.

“Our board-certified doctors and experienced medical team are here to not only provide patients with excellent care, but a positive experience,” said Dr. Kristina Orio, medical director AFC Doctors Express Urgent Care Stoneham. “Our only concern is for our patients, as we strive to meet our goal of providing the highest quality, affordable care in under an hour.”

Located at 16 Main Street, AFC Doctors Express Stoneham is offering urgent care daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., including weekends. No appointments or referrals are necessary. The practice accepts most major insurance plans including Medicare and some MassHealth plans. Co-pays are a fraction of a typical emergency room co-pay and the average patient is seen by a physician and treated within one hour. On-site services such as an X-ray, sutures, and lab work are available for non-critical conditions like strep throat, sprains, strains, lacerations and the flu.

“We are committed to setting a new standard in urgent care and are excited to offer quality and convenient care to Stoneham and surrounding communities,” said Dave Adams, president of AFC Doctors Express Stoneham. “AFC Doctors Express has a strong record of high patient satisfaction and we look forward to becoming a trusted health resource in the area.”

AFC Doctors Express Urgent Care Stoneham is the third Doctors Express location Dave Adams has opened in the past three years, in addition to the clinics in Waltham and Burlington. The AFC Doctors Express locations in Waltham and Burlington have treated 60,000 patients in the past 36 months with an average wait time of less than 10 minutes and an average door to door time of less than 45 minutes.
