If you have a serious condition or major trauma, go straight to your nearest hospital ER.
When your condition is urgent, but less serious, Lakes Urgent Care can save you time and money. Insurance co-pays can be more expensive at a hospital ER. And you may wait for a long time in a hospital ER for minor health concerns. At Lakes Urgent Care, you’ll be seen quickly by a highly trained physician. And by visiting us, you’ll help keep the ER free to handle more serious health concerns.

"With a child, urgent care facilities are such a peace of mind--and until I found Lakes, I never knew where to go. ...the staff at Lakes (owners included) made my wife and I feel so confident in their physicians. We were seen in a matter of 5 minutes which is unheard of, and I just can't explain enough how positive of an experience it was. As long as I live where I do, I'll never worry about where I'm going if urgent care is what my family needs."

"The urgent care here is wonderful. Everyone is caring and kind and not condescending or rude. I was greeted promptly and brought to a room quickly. As far as my past experiences at urgent cares, this is far and beyond the best one I've been to! They were kind and quick with the check up, and honest about medications and possibilities."

"I went to Lakes Urgent Care after my doctor suggested going to an ER and let me tell you I was SO impressed by this facility. The location is so convenient, the facility is so clean and the staff was incredible. They are running a well-oiled machine! The doctor went through a thorough exam and made me feel that all my questions and symptoms were addressed. I would recommend this place to family and friends and of course know where I will be going the next time I do not feel well. Thank you Lakes Urgent Care!"

The nurse had a good attitude and the PA that worked on me was very nice and very gentle while cleaning and looking over my wound. I was in and out within an hour and highly recommend this place."

"During a recent visit to the Detroit area, I experienced sudden and debilitating pain in my left hip. I had no idea what was wrong and was concerned that I would not be able to make the trip back home to Los Angeles. To my extreme relief, the staff at Lakes Urgent Care was able to diagnose and treat my problem quickly and efficiently. I found the staff to be compassionate and professional, and the facility clean and comfortable. I would recommend them to anyone needing urgent care."

"The staff was wonderful with my 11 month old daughter. They were fast, thorough and very helpful. The office was clean and they got us in quickly to the room and the doctor came in shortly after. I had to call them back to get a different prescription because our pharmacy was out. The doctor gladly called a new one in and even called me back to tell me that everything was now good. I will definitely recommend them to friends and go there in the future if needed."
