Total Access Urgent Care Featured in St. Louis Business Journal Article

ST. LOUIS - April 24, 2013 - PRLog -- On April 12, 2013, the St. Louis Business Journal published an article entitled, “Growing St. Charles ideal for urgent care expansion.” The article opened with a quote referencing Dr. Matt Bruckel’s passion to make Total Access Urgent Care a household name in St. Louis. His passion for efficient, friendly, and excellent care drives the organization’s vision to make Total Access Urgent Care’s services available throughout St. Louis and for Total Access to be recognized as the standard bearer for the industry.  Dr. Bruckel opened the doors of his first facility on Manchester Road in Rock Hill in 2008, expanded to Chesterfield four years later in 2012, and opened a third facility this month in South County.

According to Dr. Bruckel, those three locations are just the beginning. The Board Certified, residency-trained emergency medicine physician plans to expand to 10 Total Access Urgent Care facilities in the greater St. Louis area. He plans to open a location in St. Charles County next. According to Dr. Elizabeth Lucas, medical director of St. Luke’s Urgent Care Centers and St. Luke’s Convenient Care, “It’s a growing area so people want to expand there because that’s where families are and there’s a need for health care.”

According to IbisWorld, urgent care is a $15 billion dollar per year industry, and it’s the fastest growing segment of the health care industry in America. The market research company expects the industry to continue to grow as more patients demand faster, more affordable access to health care.

In 2012, Total Access Urgent Care provided medical services to approximately 24,000 community members at the Rock Hill and Chesterfield centers collectively. Dr. Bruckel explained that his locations presently combine to treat an average of 80 to 100 patients every day.

Total Access Urgent Care is staffed by a team of highly experienced doctors who care about the community and see Total Access Urgent Care as a neighborhood partner that must provide prompt, friendly service in a warm and caring environment.
