  • Sunburn
  • Scalds
  • Chemical burns
  • Tar burns
  • Burns from concrete
  • Electrical burns
  • Burns from fireworks

Patient & Visitor Information

When you call our clinic, you will be given an appointment time—usually for the very same day.

If you experience a burn after hours and need immediate care, please come to the Strong Emergency Department.
