NYU Langone ER | Cobble Hill
The NYU Langone medical center opened last spring on Atlantic Avenue with a 24-hour emergency department. Children and patients of all ages are being taken care of 24/7 with two emergency specialists on site all times and a pediatric ER specialist on site from 2 to 10 pm daily. Their services are more comprehensive than those offered by urgent care centers, which usually do not have advanced imaging services, cast set-up for fractures or emergency-trained nurses. If a person needs to be admitted to the hospital, their in-house team transports patients for free to the assigned hospital within their network. The center also offers valet parking. Emergency care wait times are posted on the website and updated every 5 minutes here. Learn more about the facility and its pediatrics team here!
