What Our Patients Are Saying:
"It's great to have such an awesome place in our neighborhood. I have been living in North Buffalo for over 20 years. This is by far the best medical office we have ever had. Welcome to the neighborhood! You guys are great! I'll be back!"
--Patient who visited our Buffalo location, 12/25/11
"I love the service Immediate Care provides for me and my family...The service is effective and very much needed by Independent Health recipients. Thank you, Immediate Care family, for all your hard work."
--Patient who visited our Niagara Falls Boulevard location, 12/24/11
"I like my personal physician and my son's pediatrician. But even they can't hold a candle to the kind, polite, friendly and professional manner in which you are treated at Immediate Care. I would be very concerned if Independent Health didn't allow us to come here."
