When my kids get hurt playing sports or fall off their scooters, I immediately jump into action and get it taken care of—or (if it doesn’t require a doc) assure them it will be fine and to walk it off. My kids (and my husband, wink-wink) always know I’m there to take care of everyone and like most moms, I am very good in crisis mode. But one scenario I never really think about is, what if I get hurt?
There are a million ways to injure yourself at home or in this crazy city; cracked curbs, tripping up stairs, chopping veggies, unloading the dishwasher…you may laugh but I’ve sliced my hand on broken dishes. Unfortunately, most moms have no time to get sick and definitely no time to get hurt.
I recently broke my foot in the most avoidable way, smashing it on something that was under my bed while I was cleaning. We had a packed weekend of Mother’s Day activities and a party to go to that evening so I tried to ignore the pain and walk it off. The pain started to radiate up and around my foot and just got worse and worse. I knew it was something much more serious than a simple bruise but the idea of going to an ER on the weekend made me more miserable than the injury itself!
I went to CityMD and they were able to X-Ray my foot, bandage it up, give me something for the excruciating pain and send me on my way with an uber stylish orthopedic boot in probably 30-minutes. I wound up fracturing my foot and had to be in a boot for six weeks! And honestly the only thing that saved me from going completely out of my mind was my CityMD Experience. I was practically crying in the office because how exactly was I going to function with a boot on my foot in NYC with three kids. The nurse practically gave me a pep talk about how this is a sign to slow down, and that I’ll make it work.
When I need to get a medical issue handled quick, be it strep throat or a broken foot! CityMD Urgent Care is fast and efficient—and they take most health insurances. If you haven’t heard about it, CityMD is an urgent care provider founded by a group of Emergency Medicine physicians who wanted to make health care convenient, efficient and high-quality. It has grown from one Manhattan location to over 70 locations in the greater New York area and Seattle. The staff at CityMD is incredibly focused on making the patient experience seamless and thoughtful. I felt like they really valued my time and comfort by jumping into action and getting me help quickly. I felt completely taken care of, which is a nice change for a mom who takes care of everyone else.

It’s nice when you can go to an urgent care center like that. Quick and easy is the way I like it.
That is pretty cool that they have a place like that there. I hope that it moves its way out this way. I also hope that your foot heals quickly because you’re right moms don’t have time to be injured.
An urgent care center like that is such a great thing. It’s hard to find really nice, comfortable urgent care centers.
It really is important to find an urgent care center that can off things like this! It really isn’t an easy task to find a good urgent care center to go to!
City MD sounds great. I can’t believe it only took you about 30 minutes.
Urgent care is a great asset! Too often we take for granted that we’ll never get hurt, and tend to focus on hoping our kids don’t. I love that more urgent care facilities are popping up.
It is so comforting to know there is one of these close by! I hope your foot is on the mend!
Oh yikes! I’m glad you were able to get fixed up. It sounds like CityMD was a good choice!
CityMD Urgent Care looks like a great option for when we get sick. I hope your foot heals quickly. As a Mom you have no time to be sick.
It’s great to hear about this option. Sounds like something I could use as well. They sound like they would be a great choice.
You’re so right. Moms don’t have time to get hurt, but sometimes it happens. It’s good to know there are places like CityMD Urgent Care to help us get in and out.
I love knowing that there are places that can help out when you need them. Making an appointment and waiting weeks isn’t always an option.
Absolutely agree! Moms don’t have time to get hurt! It’s great to know that you have an awesome urgent care available for incidents like this.
