The brand-new modern facility is located at 465 Route 46 West, in the same complex as Babies “R” Us, Toys “R” Us, Applebee’s, Hobby Lobby and Bob’s Store. The new location is outfitted with 13 examination rooms, including a modern digital X-Ray system and on-site laboratory and has been themed with cities from around the world.

Jillian Stratton, KPUC Administrator, said of the opening, “We are so proud to open our next center in Totowa, New Jersey as I know it is beneficial, as it makes it possible for the northern communities to have access to the best childrens urgent care possible. We offer a convenient, specialized and comprehensive alternative to hospital emergency rooms with facilities catered specifically to newborns, children and young adults. This alternative to the pediatric ER in Totowa and the surrounding communities will help to alleviate long wait times and higher copays while delivering the highest quality of care.”
