I live in Glassboro and don't mind the drive out there at all. All of the staff have been very nice and accommodating. No problem getting in and getting seen - which is almost impossible given the last couple of years experiences. In comparison to the other Inspira Urgent Care centers, this one has been the best so far.

I was back again last week with my special needs son. He had an acute infection. Once again, Dr. Decker did an excellent job. He is knowledgeable and is an excellent physician. Dr. Decker recommended that my son follow up with a podiatrist. MY son's infection was resolved until I take him to the podiatrist. Inspira made an excellent choice in hiring Dr. Decker. Make sure that he stays at this location. Hint,Hint!

My own doctor was not available and I wasn’t sick enough to go to the emergency room.But I needed to be a evaluated . I contacted Hunterdon Urgent Care . They advised me to come down to be seen . From the initial phone call to my being welcomed warmly by the receptionist area I felt a sense of relief. My experience with the Nurse and the Doctor was positive and reassuring . This is the second time I have had to use Urgent Care and I heartily recommend them especially if you need to be seen promptly and your own PCP is not available . They are a great option
