How it all began:

Dr. John Im knew he wanted to specialize in emergency medicine from his first clinical rotation in medical school. Here’s what he discovered: most emergency rooms are set up to provide limited patient care. It is rushed, backlogged, and inefficient. Patients wait for hours only to be greeted by overworked staff who don’t have the time, capacity, or training to provide compassionate care.

Dr. Im knew there was a way to provide meaningful care for less acute, but still urgent cases.

He chose to specialize in emergency medicine and completed his education. He graduated from Michigan State University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1998, interned at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn, and completed his residency in emergency medicine at Seton Hall University in Newark, NJ.

Giving Patients Our Undivided Attention Since 2004.

In 2004, Dr. Im opened Exceptional Urgent Care Center. His vision to provide superior, personalized, intentional care for urgent cases has been the goal from day one — and continues now. It is a place that welcomes questions instead of stifling them.

It’s Exceptional Urgent Care because we’re intentional about every single step we take to treat you.

Dr. Im was able to see me the same day, give me his undivided attention, and help me get better as fast as possible.

“When I first went to Exceptional Urgent Care, I had been struggling to get an appointment with a primary care physician. Dr. Im was able to see me the same day, give me his undivided attention, and help me get better as fast as possible. I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for quality care and ease of getting an appointment.”
