Pulse MD Urgent Care
September 2021
Stay out of the hospital and the ER with quality urgent care from Pulse-MD
Now more than ever, people are mindful of their health. The pandemic has made us all more vigilant about how we feel and more motivated to seek care when something seems wrong. At the same time, COVID-19 has left us wary of the long waits in crowded emergency rooms or extended stays in the hospital. So what do we do about the broken bones, sprains, infections, colds, and all of the other non-fatal ailments that don’t stop coming just because of COVID?
For people in and around the Hudson Valley there’s Pulse-MD Urgent Care.
Urgent care is a more convenient, less expensive alternative to the emergency room. It’s a type of walk-in clinic that delivers outpatient care for patients—both adults and children—experiencing everything from bee stings to flu symptoms to a sprained ankle. Pulse-MD, a family-owned and operated group of five urgent care clinics located throughout the Hudson Valley region also administers standard physicals for sports or camp; lab services for bloodwork; x-rays; vaccinations for flu, tetanus, and hepatitis B; blood pressure screening; and COVID testing. But during the pandemic, Pulse-MD has provided its communities with something even more important: Peace of mind.
Affordability: Pulse-MD treats all non-life-threatening emergencies for a fraction of the cost of an ER visit. Since the clinics are doctor-owned and -operated, there are no facility fees. Plus, Pulse-MD accepts most types of insurance along with cash and credit cards. And for cash-payers, there is fixed discount pricing—you know ahead of time exactly what it’s going to cost.
Designed in collaboration with a 100 year-old USA textile manufacturer using proprietary filtration technology, the high-tech mPactAir99TM NanoscreenTM Facemask uses 6 LAYERS of BMT’s Nanoscreen DefenseTM Technology.
The BMT NanoscreenTM Defense filtration technology filters over 99% of all airborne particulates and pathogens at 3µm. Not just for Covid, reduction in seasonal diseases like flu, allergies/pollen, pollution, and more!
Twice as breathable as the standard issue N95 Facemask - The mPactAir99TM has a Breathability Index of 5.8; in comparison, the N95 mask has a breathability index of 11~12. Originally designed for athletes, the mPactAir99TM provides unparalled safety while featuring amazing breathability and comfort.
The mPactAir99TM is safely reusable, good for up to 60 washes! The ability to wash and re-use gives mPactAir99TM masks a distinct advantage over single-use and N95 masks. Our environmentally-friendly masks also help reduce waste and cut down on landfill-usage, and we even provide returnable responsible-recycling packaging!
In addition to these urgent care advantages, there is also a key Pulse-MD difference: Personal care. The company is family-run and staffed by members of each community, many of whom have worked at the clinics for years and have come to personally know their patients as neighbors. In an emergency room setting, you’ll see waves of strangers who quickly come and go while you wait, but at Pulse-MD, you’ll have a provider who will check in throughout your visit, keeping you updated on what’s going on—you’re never in the dark.
“My dad, Dr. Mirza M. Ashraf, who has practiced medicine for more than 40 years, emphasizes the ‘care’ in healthcare,” says Faisal. “This is not just a business, we’re not here to make money. We’re here to do the right thing for our patients.”
Pulse-MD operates urgent care clinics in Wappingers Falls, Mahopac, Mohegan Lake, Thornwood, and Poughkeepsie. For more information or to save time and check in online visit www.pulse-mdurgentcare.com. You can also call 7 days a week at 855-85-PULSE.
That’s because, in addition to both onsite and offsite COVID testing, Pulse-MD has gone above and beyond standard precautions to ensure the safety of its patients. In addition to requiring masks and social distancing of 6-feet for everyone in the building, Pulse-MD also conducts all COVID testing outside of the clinic—people waiting to be seen are not mixed in with potential COVID patients as they might be in the ER.
“We have a strict process of who comes in—and not just with COVID,” says Faisal M. Ashraf, Administrative Director and COO of Pulse-MD. He currently runs the clinics with his father, Dr. Mirza M. Ashraf. “We try to provide a level of comfort to our patients, whereas in the ER, people just come in. Here, you can bring your children and feel safe that you are much less likely to walk out with an illness, infection, or anything else you didn’t come in with.”
