Through his experiences in emergency medicine, Dr. Cvitanovich became interested in urgent care as an alternative to the Emergency Room for minor injury and illness. He found that urgent care centers offered a time and money saving option for patients, without sacrificing quality.

A second location was opened in Metairie in 2006. Learn more about EJAH.
