Elevated Care, Minimal Cost, Less Wait.
ER-trained doctors, hospital-grade imaging, and an on-site lab, open late in Lakewood, at a fraction of the cost of an ER visit.
Lakewood Urgent Care Services & Walk-In Clinic
We provide more on-site services than a traditional urgent care, at a fraction of the cost of an emergency room visit. Walk-ins welcome.
OUR CARE
On-Site Medical Services We Provide
Care that goes beyond a typical urgent care. You leave with answers, not a referral.
Diagnostic Imaging
A hard fall, a head bump, or pain you can't explain? On-site CT, MRI, ultrasound, and X-ray show us what's going on, usually in the same visit.
See Imaging
On-Site Testing & Lab Results
Many in-house lab results are available during your visit. Send-out tests take longer; we explain how to get the result.
See Lab Testing
Sports Physicals
Season starting? Walk in for a same-day physical. And if you get hurt mid-season, we treat that too.
See Sports Physicals
Pharmaceutical Treatments
Some illnesses call for doctor-administered medication. We administer it and monitor you on site.
COVID-19 Testing
Exposed, or showing symptoms? Ask about COVID-19 testing and the expected result time for your test.
See COVID-19 Testing
IV Therapy
IV fluids and medication go straight to your bloodstream — for dehydration, pain, and infections when pills aren't enough.
See IV Therapy
GLP-1 Weight Loss
Looking for medical support with weight loss? Talk with a clinician about your goals and whether GLP-1 medication is appropriate for you.
See GLP-1 Weight Loss
Pediatric Services
A fever, ear pain or a fall can change the day. Our ER-trained doctors evaluate children and explain the next step.

What Our Patients Say
★★★★★
I live nearby and have visited Continuem a few times in past 2 years since the location opened. Every visit has been an excellent experience. Professional caring doctors, nurse practitioners, support staff
Angella W.
★★★★★
Wonderful care. I highly recommend this place for your healthcare needs. Thorough examination by Doctor. They provided the treatment on the spot on top of prescribing needed medication for myself and my son.
Raj G.
★★★★★
Best urgent care I've ever been to. From the front desk staff to the nurses & the Dr, everyone is so professional & communicative. Waiting times are short & they're always checking on you
Nour E.
★★★★★
A solid step above the usual urgent care. The facility surprised me - it is impressive. Dr. Sotelo was my physician and he was great. I found him to be candid, thoughtful and very competent.

Fast, reliable, professional, caring support. By far the best Urgent Care facility we have ever visited.
