Urgent Care Near
Cerritos

No. Call 911. ContinuEM can handle 90% of what usually gets handled at a typical ER. In the event you need to go to the ER, we will help you coordinate the next steps.

We provide treatment for a comprehensive range of non-life-threatening conditions. We commonly treat illnesses such as flu, strep throat, allergies, asthma, stomach flu, and ear infections. Our care extends to various pain conditions including abdominal pain and chest pain (with appropriate evaluation). We handle injuries like sprains, strains, minor fractures, cuts, burns, and sports-related trauma. Our expertise includes managing skin issues such as rashes, allergic reactions, and insect bites and stings. We also provide IV therapy for dehydration, address women's health concerns, care for pediatric illnesses and injuries, treat respiratory conditions, and handle urinary tract infections.

For life-threatening emergencies, please call 911 or visit your nearest emergency room.

Our facility is equipped with comprehensive on-site medical capabilities to serve your healthcare needs. We offer advanced imaging services including CT scans, MRI, ultrasound, and X-rays, all based on clinical necessity. Our in-house laboratory provides quick test results during your visit, and we perform diagnostic services such as ECG/EKG and other vital tests. For treatment, we offer IV infusion therapy, medication administration, wound care, minor surgical procedures, and splinting and casting services. Our preventive care options include immunizations, vaccines, sports physicals, and COVID-19 testing. We also provide specialized care through our OB-GYN services, pediatric care, and sports medicine department.

All services are subject to clinical evaluation, medical necessity, and insurance eligibility. Each patient receives a personalized care plan based on their specific medical needs and condition.

We accept most major insurance plans including HMOs, PPOs, Medicare, and offer affordable self-pay options for Huntington Beach residents.

We don’t replace your existing doctors. We work closely with them and keep them in the loop the entire time, ensuring that your care is comprehensive and coordinated.

Always. (Except for narcotics)

Unlike urgent care clinics, ContinuEM facilities have greater capabilities such as CT, MRI, advanced IV medication and an on-site laboratory.

We offer both PCR rapid tests and nasal swab tests. Nasal swab tests are recommended and performed in our offices. PCR rapid tests are the best option for more urgent test results. No blood draw is required for COVID-19 virus testing.

For COVID-19 antibody testing, a blood drawing is necessary, but only one test tube or less is required. Antibody testing reveals if you've been positive for COVID-19 in recent weeks and typically indicates a window of time when you won't test positive again.

We follow CDC guidelines and use FDA-approved testing to ensure accurate and safe procedures. To minimize potential exposure, please wear a mask and come alone if possible when coming for testing.
