Illness & Accidents Happen... Steel City DC is Here to Help
Acute illness and injury are a part of everyday life, and despite the rapid return of emergency department visit numbers to pre-COVID levels, still only 18% of emergency department visits require the high acuity and highly specialized emergency department space.
Add to that, average emergency department wait times routinely exceeding 5-hours and the lack of coordinated, post-ER visit follow-up, and it is no surprise that many leave emergency department visits frustrated and often with more questions than answers.
'Retail' urgent care centers, though the wait times are considerably less are often staffed by inexperienced providers resulting in front-end expense, no definitive treatment and a now delayed referral to... you guessed it... the emergency department.
Steel City Direct Care will never deter any patient from seeking emergency medical care, however, we recognize that many acute injury and illness events can be safely and effectively managed within spaces staffed by experienced and appropriately trained clinicians.
If you believe that you are experiencing a true medical or behavioral health/emotional\psychiatric emergency, please dial 9-1-1 (medical) or 9-8-8 (behavioral/mental health crisis) immediately.
Dr. Conti is a residency-trained emergency medicine physician with over 20-years of clinical experience and administrative leadership in some of the region's busiest and highest acuity emergency care and trauma center environments. During that time he has logged over 30,000 clinical hours and provided care to over 70,000 patients of all ages and levels of acuity.
