The science of health. The art of caring.
Walk-in urgent care, primary care and 14 specialties, all inside one physician-owned group in Southwest Louisiana.
Imperial Health is the region's largest physician-owned, multispecialty practice. It started in 1957 as Lake Charles Medical & Surgical Clinic. Today our urgent care, primary care and specialists work side by side, so the doctor you need is usually just down the road.
No appointment. No long wait.
Our two urgent care centers open early, stay late and see patients on weekends and most holidays. Walk in with a cough, a sprain or a fever, and we'll take care of the rest.
- X-ray on site, so you leave with answers
- Our own lab processes tests in-house for fast results
- Care for everyone, from newborns to seniors
Your specialist is across the street
If your urgent care provider thinks you need an orthopaedic surgeon, an ENT or a cardiologist, they can pick up the phone and call one. They work for the same group, often just down the road, and can frequently see you the same day.

- Our own lab, imaging and outpatient surgery center
- Independent and physician-owned, never a hospital chain
