CityMD

CityMD is part of the same care team as Summit Health, a primary care and multispecialty provider. The firm's ownership structure is not publicly detailed, but the operational integration with Summit Health suggests a shared parent entity or close affiliation. CityMD does not disclose a single family office or institutional parent on its website.

CityMD hires board-certified physicians for each location, a practice it emphasizes as a differentiator from many urgent care centers. The firm runs an accredited urgent care fellowship program to train medical professionals in the field. Staffing includes intake, front desk, technicians, and providers, with patient testimonials highlighting respectful and efficient service.

CityMD accepts most major health insurances, including Managed Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, and exchange plans. The firm provides a full list of accepted plans on its website. Patients without insurance can still receive care, though payment terms are not detailed on the public site.

In addition to treating minor injuries and illnesses — such as flu, strep, rashes, and stitches — CityMD provides immunizations, diagnostic tests, and virtual care visits available 24/7 through its app. The aftercare team coordinates referrals and follow-up appointments within Summit Health's network of 80-plus specialties.

CityMD operates over 180 locations across New York and New Jersey. The firm does not disclose a full list of cities on its main website, but the network covers both urban and suburban areas. Locations are open 365 days a year with extended hours.

Yes, CityMD provides virtual visits through its mobile app, available 24/7, 365 days a year. Desktop users can access virtual care via a web app. Virtual visits are staffed by licensed medical providers and cover the same range of urgent care concerns as in-person locations.

CityMD's integration with Summit Health sets it apart — patients get a direct referral path to primary care and 80-plus specialties for follow-up. The network also mandates board-certified physicians at every location, unlike many urgent care centers that may staff nurse practitioners or physician assistants. The scale of over 180 locations in two states and average wait times under five minutes are additional structural differentiators (per the firm's website).
