Pediatric Urgent Care

Pediatric urgent care treats children's sudden illness and minor injuries with clinicians who see kids all day, child-sized equipment, and weight-based dosing. For most childhood fevers, sore throats, ear infections, and playground injuries, it's the right first stop — at a fraction of pediatric ER cost.

What it handles

Fevers in children over three months, strep and flu testing, ear infections, pink eye, croup and mild wheezing in known asthmatics, vomiting and diarrhea without severe dehydration, rashes, minor cuts, and sprains. The American Academy of Pediatrics' parent resources are the reference standard for what can wait and what can't.

The non-negotiable ER list
