MD Urgent Care is proud to provide our community with quality medical care for the treatment of conditions that require prompt attention, but do not pose an immediate, serious health threat. We provide rapid and reliable care for most acute illnesses and injuries including the treatment of cough, colds, fever, flu, pain, strains, lacerations and broken bones on a walk-in basis.
Dr Tom Pascuzzi, Dr. Hank Taliaferro and Dr. Mike Whiting are long time New Mexico Emergency Medicine physicians who are committed to providing you the highest quality care in a timely fashion. We have over 35 years of combined Emergency Medicine experience and realize the frustration of long waits, high co-pays, unfriendly and impersonal services provided by most ER’s.
