Beverly Grove-based Cedars will also open a dermatology practice within the clinic on Jan. 21. A staff of dermatologists will treat skin conditions such as acne, skin cancer and eczema and offer cosmetic skin procedures.

The urgent care clinic joins Cedars facilities in Beverly Hills, Culver City and Playa Vista. It provides same-day care for patients experiencing an illness or injury that isn’t life-threatening, such as a severe cough, a cut or a muscle sprain. It is staffed with internists and family medicine physicians, as well as nurse practitioners and physician assistants. It is equipped with onsite labs and x-ray devices.
