Behind every great clinic is a doctor who truly listens. At Urgent Care Plus & Wellness, that physician is Dr. Luke Olumide Afuwape, MD, a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician with over 15 years of hands-on experience in trauma, critical care, and urgent care medicine. Dr. Luke founded our clinic in Richmond, TX to give patients across Katy, Aliana, Grand Mission, Sugar Land, and surrounding West Houston communities a better way to access medical care—quickly, compassionately, and without compromise.
Today, he continues to lead the practice with one mission: to provide hospital-level expertise in a calm, patient-first setting, where every individual feels heard, respected, and empowered.
The Journey to Urgent Care Plus & Wellness
Dr. Luke Afuwape earned his medical degree from Meharry Medical College in Nashville, followed by an Emergency Medicine residency at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center in Toledo, Ohio. He has worked in high-volume emergency rooms at various hospitals, served as a flight physician for critical air transports, provided neurosurgical critical care support, and covered freestanding ER facilities.
This depth of real-world emergency experience sets Dr. Luke apart from other providers in the Richmond urgent care landscape.
But what truly defines his career is his patient-first mindset. After years of seeing patients overwhelmed in crowded ERs, he envisioned a place where urgent care could feel personal, affordable, and educational—not rushed or transactional. That vision became Urgent Care Plus & Wellness, now serving as a go-to walk-in clinic for families across West Houston.
