I was a bit skeptical of going to Hurley Urgent Care as the few times I have had experience with the Emergency Room at Hurley, NONE of them were positive. However, I can wholeheartedly say the on site Urgent Care Clinic is AMAZING for children and adults. We have been in and out in under an hour from anything from strep throat to a needing stitches in a foot. We highly recommend this Urgent Care facility!
