Looking for a general doctor open on Saturdays

Does anyone know of a doctor's office (general practitioner/primary care) who's open in the area? I think I may have broken a rib Thursday night playing dodgeball (only the epic klutz I am could pull that off), and the pain was somewhat manageable yesterday, but it's killing me today.

I've gone to the medical center on Atlantic near 3rd Ave, but it's a hell of a wait on weekends and a bit of a pain to get to. I've searched the archives here but can't seem to find one that's open and has at least average reviews.

Thanks!

    Sometimes Dr. Simons on Ave M is open on SAturdays - I know he keeps Sunday hours.

    Thanks guys (or gals). Jack, that was the medical center I was talking about -- been there, it's okay but I was looking for something a bit more local. Seems like there is nothing really in the immediate vicinity of Park Slope.

    It's all good though -- decided to go to LI to visit the folks and stopped by a doctor's office near them I knew was open Saturdays. Fortunately, it wasn't broken, and fortunately they gave me anti-inflammatories and pain meds so I can actually sleep.

    Pussy. You were really crying over bruised ribs from.... dodgeball?

    Wow

    Let me guess. You're one of those Park Slope Dads, huh?

    Yeah. I'd like to see what happens to tough guy over here when he runs full speed into a ribs-high wooden shelf that's inexplicably in the corner of the gym.

    Wow, so every single message board needs a troll, huh?

    Subject: Saturday Clinic

    I had an infection and went to this clinic on 13th and waited about 45 minutes. They allow walk-ins on Saturday before 11:30 am. The doctor was friendly and competent - as was the staff.

    I believe Park West Medical is open on Saturday mornings, right by the movie theatre on 15th St. At least, they were open for years on Saturday mornings, but I haven't been in a while.
