About PhysicianOne Urgent Care
PhysicianOne Urgent Care was established in 2008 in Southbury, CT by local physician, Dr. Jeannie Kenkare and her partners to improve how healthcare was delivered.
PhysicianOne Urgent Care has set the gold standard for convenient expert medical acute care of non life-threatening medical conditions. We’re proud to be the first physician-founded urgent care center in Connecticut to be certified and accredited by the Urgent Care Association.
We take great pride in helping make the lives of local families a bit easier. PhysicianOne Urgent Care’s expert medical care is a cost-effective alternative to the Emergency Room as well as a convenient alternative to primary care physicians during off or peak hours.
Our centers provide walk-in treatment for a wide array of non-life threatening illnesses and injuries. On-site services include X-ray, lab, wound stitching, physicals, IV, COVID screening and testing, and additional services. We also offer Virtual Visits, so our patients can access convenient, high-quality care from the comfort of home.
We currently have 23 centers in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York. All of our centers are open 365 days a year, 8:00 am – 8:00 pm Monday through Friday; 9:00 am – 5:00 pm on weekends and holidays; and 8:00 am – 3:00 pm on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Experienced providers, X-ray technologists, and medical assistants are on staff at all times, and are ready to treat patients of all ages from infants to seniors. Most insurances are accepted, and affordable self-pay options are offered.

INSURANCES Plans Accepted
We accept most major health insurance plans, including Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Medicare, and many more. Insurance co-payments for urgent care tend to be significantly lower than those required for an ER visit. Also, while we accept insurance, we do not require it. We also have a reasonable rate schedule for our self-paying patients. Our goal is to provide exceptional medical care at an affordable price.
