Construction and trade work are physically demanding and involve daily exposure to potential injuries from cuts and sprains to heat exhaustion and eye injuries. When accidents happen, quick access to medical care is crucial.

Their combined expertise in urgent and internal medicine ensures you receive high-quality care that helps you recover quickly and return to work safely, without the long waits or high costs of an emergency room.
Immediate Walk-In Access
Job-site injuries can’t wait for an appointment. At Eastway Medical Clinic, Dr. Sylvia Okoye and Dr. Joseph Okoye oversee urgent care services that allow workers to walk in during business hours and receive immediate attention. This flexibility ensures you’re seen quickly, whether you arrive during lunch, between shifts, or after hours.
