Buffalo Medical Group’s After Hours Care clinic at 295 Essjay
Road, Williamsville, is now
BMG Extended Care,
with new hours of 9 am to 8 pm, Monday through Friday for BMG primary care
patients
who require
non-emergency services. Saturday hours remain the same, 9 am to 1 pm.
BMG Extended Care services also are available at our 3345 Southwestern
Boulevard office in Orchard Park every Saturday from 9 am to 1 pm.
We
encourage BMG primary care
patients who wish to use
BMG Extended Care
for non-emergency medical needs to contact their primary care physician to
discuss their medical condition and schedule an appointment, if appropriate.
Walk-ins also are accepted.
If
it is necessary for a patient to contact his or her primary care physician
or covering physician after regular business or
BMG Extended Care
hours, an operator is available 24 hours a day at (716) 630-1000.
After a visit to BMG Extended Care, a detailed report of a patient’s evaluation and prescribed
treatment will be sent to his or her BMG primary care physician. This will
assist the patient’s doctor in planning follow-up care.

Emergency and Urgent Situations
BMG Extended Care in Williamsville and Orchard Park should not be used for
emergency or urgent conditions such as chest pain, excessive bleeding, etc.
However, if a patient has a medical problem, it is very important to contact
his or her primary care physician who will determine if
BMG
Extended Care
services are appropriate to treat the condition.
