Children's Urgent Care

What is Children's Urgent Care?

Children's Urgent Care is an extended total pediatric practice designed to make your medical experience as convenient as possible. We understand children do not always need medical attention during normal business hours. Our office is open seven days a week with extended hours. We also accept long term patients and would be honored to be your child's regular pediatrician.

Children's Urgent Care is equipped to deal with a wide variety of minor emergency care. We are often able to prevent unnecessary trips to crowded and costly emergency rooms. We have experienced staff exclusively trained to treat children.

We do not accept ambulances and life threatening situations. In these instances parents are advised to call 911 or to take their child to nearest emergency room.

Do I need an appointment to be seen?
No, you do not always need an appointment to be seen by our physicians. We realize you cannot control when your child needs medical attention. If your child does not have an appointment, he/ she will be seen as a walk-in emergency. We make every attempt to see your child in a timely manner. We do prefer that when possible, you do schedule an appointment, especially for physicals and immunizations. This allows us to minimize waiting times. Please notify us 24 hours in advance if you need to cancel your appointment.

Insurance and Payment
We participate in and accept most insurance plans and medicaid. If this is your first visit to our center, please bring your insurance card and picture identification with you. Your co-payment and/or deductible is payable at the time of service. We accept cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express as forms of payment. We offer a cash discount to those who may not have medical insurance. Feel free to contact our Insurance Services Department regarding our financial policies and insurance questions.
