Express Care Urgent Care walk-in center in Hamden, CT is privately owned and operated. Dr. Chaudhry opened this Urgent Care in response to a need to better serve the residents and businesses in Hamden. Working at a local hospital, Dr. Chaudhry has witnessed first-hand the number of people seeking treatment in the emergency room when their own doctors were closed or overbooked. Long wait times, high costs, and preventing others with life-threatening illnesses or injuries from being seen in a more timely fashion are the result. Only 20% of the people going to an “ER” need to be there. The other 80% may be treated cheaper, faster, and better in an Urgent Care Center!

We treat anyone with non-life-threatening injuries from 9 months old to 109 years old. If you have a regular physician, we do not replace them, but rather fill the gap for when they may not be available. However, a complete list of what we treat may be found on our website, or you can call the office and ask our friendly receptionists.
