Pediatric Problems that We Commonly Treat

Most requests for pediatric urgent care service that we receive involve sore throat, earache, cough, fever, vomiting and diarrhea, and more. If your child’s problem sounds potentially serious ill we will always refer to your nearest emergency room or pediatric emergency department when available. When we do evaluate and treat your child, with your permission, we will communicate with your primary pediatrician to help optimize followup care.

The Pediatric Urgent Care Housecall Advantage

Our services are requested by parents for a variety of reasons. Perhaps most commonly we are called by solo parents or child caregivers who have multiple children to supervise. Taking more than one child to the doctor’s office, clinic or emergency room, and then having to travel to a pharmacy is always a chore. Many parents prefer to avoid public waiting rooms because of the potential for exposure to other illnesses. Waiting hours for medical care with a small child in the public space setting is disruptive to the child’s natural eat/sleep rhythms. Intoxicated and/or behavior-challenged adults can pose a safety hazard for children and other persons in the public waiting rooms and other spaces of many emergency departments.

For serious or life threatening conditions, call 9-1-1 or go to your nearest hospital emergency department.
