It took me time to share my experience as I lack words adequately strong to convey my satisfaction. The professionalism of every staff on duty was unrivaled. From the front desk staff to the doctor. I stepped into the venue crying due to the excruciating pain in my injured finger, but shortly, I found me smiling and joking due to the effect of the immediate care that I received. I felt like I have known every staff for years. The accident I had badly ripped my finger flesh apart. By the time the doctor was done with the stitches, it was certain that my finger will heal neatly. The doctor is very confident, brilliant and I observed that he likes what he does for a living. I asked for the scope of their practice and was informed that they provide care beyond emergencies, including flu, COVID, physical, check up etc.
I had a call after about 2.5hrs, asking my relief status.
I am 100% satisfied with the care that was provided to me. I will always patronize Urgent Care Plus and Wellness as needed.
I recommend them with my full chest.
My prayers for them include unrivaled success.
Expert Wound Evaluation & Laceration Repair
Our clinic treats a wide range of minor skin injuries, including:
- Straight or jagged cuts
- Superficial abrasions
- Bleeding lacerations
- Mild puncture wounds
- Skin tears or friction burns
Dr. Luke evaluates every wound for depth, contamination risk, and location before determining the most appropriate closure method. We offer several treatment options to promote healing and reduce scarring:
Sutures (Stitches)
Best for deeper or longer cuts that need precise alignment and strong closure.
Staples
Ideal for scalp or large surface cuts requiring quick closure, particularly in low-tension areas.
Medical Glue (Dermabond)
A great option for small, shallow lacerations on the face or in children where stitches may not be necessary.
Each wound is cleaned, disinfected, and numbed with a local anesthetic if needed. Tetanus boosters are available onsite for those who qualify.
Additional Services for Wound Care
In addition to closure techniques, we provide:
- Wound dressing and bandaging
- Antibiotic prescriptions if infection risk is present
- Aftercare instructions and return precautions
- Follow-up referrals for complex wounds or delayed healing
