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.
