You could say that Malibu Urgent Care is in Dr. Lauren Pike’s DNA.  Growing up at the clinic, she worked for many years as a care coordinator and medical assistant.  Now a Board-Certified Emergency Physician, Dr. Pike continues the tradition of top-notch, cutting-edge medical care established by her mother and clinic founder, Dr. Jill Furgurson. A native of Los Angeles, Dr. Pike traveled an educational path from USC to Chicago Medical School, culminating with an Emergency Medicine Residency at the Stanford University Hospitals.  While at Stanford, she also pursued advanced training in disaster medicine and bedside ultrasound.  In 2017, she returned to serve the Malibu community at the same location that inspired her to go into medicine. She is thrilled to provide state-of-the-art emergency medical care with a personal touch. Her guiding principle is to treat patients like family with care, compassion, and close follow-up.  When not on duty, Dr. Pike enjoys spending time with her husband and young children.  Her passions include snow skiing, scuba diving and hiking in the Santa Monica mountains.
