Passed 6 urgent care facilities on my way here. And it was well worth it. Dr Luke!!! His persona is warm and welcoming. He’s caring and compassionate. He quickly diagnosed my son’s issue and proceeded to show concern for his overall wellbeing, educational and career goals. Great life advice given. We need more like you, Dr Luke, so please don’t give any less of yourself. In addition, his team called to follow up on my son’s recovery.
** update** two thumbs up for Malik. Yesterday he thoroughly treated my son with the utmost care, and dotted all i’s and crossed all it’s. Wonderful team. Never change.

Our Approach to Infant & Child Illnesses

- Rapid Testing (When Needed): We offer in-house diagnostic tests to confirm strep throat, flu, RSV, COVID-19, and more–helping us diagnose accurately and start treatment quickly.
- Treatment & Support: We provide individualized treatment plans that may include hydration strategies, fever reducers, antibiotics (when indicated), or supportive care like nasal suctioning or rehydration tips.
