High blood pressure doesn’t always cause symptoms–but it remains one of the most significant risk factors for heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. At Urgent Care Plus & Wellness in Richmond, TX, we make blood pressure screening fast, accurate, and stress-free for patients from Katy, Aliana, Mission Bend, and surrounding West Houston areas.
Whether you’re monitoring known hypertension, checking your levels for the first time, or need a reliable reading before surgery or a wellness exam, we’re here to help–no appointment necessary. Our clinic is led by Dr. Luke Afuwape, a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician with 15+ years of experience managing cardiovascular risk and urgent medical conditions. His compassionate, prevention-focused approach means you’re never just a number here.
I highly recommend this urgent care. My dad recently had his immigration medical exam done by Dr. Afuwape. Incidentally, they found out that my dad had an underlying pulmonary infection/ edema. They went above and beyond and helped my dad get well by prescribing the necessary medications. Special mention to Lena who helped my dad with his X-ray appointments and to Malik that helped with my dad’s prescriptions.
When Should You Get a Blood Pressure Screening?
You should have your blood pressure checked at least once a year–or more often if you have:
- A family history of hypertension or heart disease
- Obesity or a sedentary lifestyle
- Diabetes or high cholesterol
- Headaches, vision changes, or dizziness
- A need for clearance before surgery or starting a new medication
Our team uses calibrated, clinic-grade monitors for accurate readings, and we take multiple measurements if necessary to ensure reliability.
Integrated Care, Focused on Prevention
At Urgent Care Plus & Wellness, we believe that early intervention is the key to long-term health. That’s why we take a comprehensive approach to managing high blood pressure–not just diagnosing it, but helping you take the right steps to control it. If your screening shows elevated readings, you won’t be rushed out the door. Instead, our team, led by Dr. Luke Afuwape, will guide you through your options and tailor a personalized plan that fits your lifestyle and goals.
We offer:
- Lifestyle Counseling: We provide individualized advice on reducing sodium intake, increasing physical activity, stress reduction techniques, sleep hygiene, and smoking cessation. Our goal is to help you make sustainable changes that support a healthier heart.
- Medication Review & Prescribing: If appropriate, we’ll start you on blood pressure medication or adjust your current regimen. We also educate you on potential side effects, dosage, and the importance of medication adherence.
- Health Risk Screening: High blood pressure often occurs alongside other conditions. That’s why we may recommend additional screenings for high cholesterol, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome, giving you a full picture of your cardiovascular risk.
- Ongoing Monitoring: For patients who need regular follow-up, we provide scheduled rechecks and convenient walk-in options to track progress and catch potential issues early.
By combining screenings with education, prevention, and coordinated follow-up, our team is committed to helping you lower your blood pressure and your risk of serious complications–without the stress or time demands of traditional care settings.
