Overview

There are approximately 350 Urgent Care Centers within Los Angeles County.  Urgent Care Centers are setup to assist patients with an illness or injury that does not appear to be life –threatening, but also can’t wait until the next day, or for primary care doctor to see them.

For the days and hours that primary care physicians are closed, or for someone who does not have a primary care physician, urgent care centers provide easy access to quality healthcare without the hassle of emergency room.  Urgent medical conditions are ones that are not considered emergencies but still require care within 24 hours.
