A New Business Opens In Orange To Help The Community

ORANGE, CT – PhysicianOne Urgent Care has officially opened its doors for business in Orange.

“We are excited to be here because we are here to help the community and deliver a service we do best,” Dr. Jeannie Kenkare said, chief medical officer and founder of PhyiscanOne Urgent Care. “We ensure patients are treated with the utmost respect and care and given a fantastic customer service experience.”

PhysicianOne Urgent Care has been in Connecticut since 2008, making their new Orange location at 236 Boston Post Rd. the 17th in the state.

“We chose to open in Orange because there is not a very close alternative for patience to access same-day walk-in urgent care,” said Kenkare.

When Kenkare started PhysicianOne Urgent Care in 2008, she said there were few options for patients to get same-day care other than going to the emergency room.

“Patience would either have to wait for an appointment with their primary care doctor, which typically takes four or five days, or go to the emergency room, which, if it’s not life-threatening, can be a long wait,” she said. “We were the first to bring urgent care clinic to Connecticut, and our first site was in Southbury.”

When they opened in Southbury, Kenkare said they quickly received many new patents.

“They needed medical care, and our price point was right, the setting was right, and the wait time was right,” she said. “That’s the kind of care we’ve continued to be able to deliver even after so many years of doing it.”

Since PhysicianOne Urgent Care is new to Orange, Kenkare wants people to know they are in town to help the community.

“People can come for anything from a sinus infection or a cold to something more serious like pneumonia or a fractured bone or a cut that needs stitches,” she said. “We even see people bridge the gap between the care they’ve received from primary care.”

Even though there are many more urgent care clinics now than in 2008, Kenkare believes opening a new one is essential because they are all different.

“PhysicianOne Urgent Care is high quality, customer service oriented, and high-quality, evidence-based medicine oriented,” she said. We have highly skilled and experienced providers who can care for patients in a way that will make people feel better faster.”
