What is Pediatric Urgent Care?

Pediatric urgent care is a specific category of healthcare that focuses on providing immediate medical services to children and adolescents who are suffering from non-life-threatening conditions. Unlike a standard emergency room, a pediatric urgent care center is specifically designed to cater to the needs of young patients, with specialized pediatric equipment, child-friendly spaces, and staff trained in pediatric care. Pediatric urgent care centers typically operate beyond regular office hours, providing access to high-quality healthcare when primary pediatricians are unavailable.

Why Choose Pediatric Urgent Care?

Choosing pediatric urgent care for your child’s medical needs offers several benefits. First, it provides immediate access to care during after-hours, weekends, or holidays when your child’s primary care provider may not be available. Second, our pediatric urgent care center is equipped with advanced medical technology tailored specifically for children, ensuring the best possible care for your child. Third, the waiting times at pediatric urgent care centers are typically shorter than at a hospital emergency room, providing quicker relief for your child’s discomfort. Fourth, our team of healthcare professionals have extensive experience and training in pediatric care, ensuring a better understanding of children’s health needs and a more effective communication with young patients.

What Conditions are Treated at Pediatric Urgent Care?

At In and Out Urgent Care, we treat a wide range of conditions that require immediate attention but are not life-threatening. These conditions include but are not limited to, common colds, flu, minor fractures, sprains, cuts and burns, asthma attacks, allergic reactions, rashes, infections (such as ear or urinary tract infections), and gastrointestinal issues such as vomiting, diarrhea, and mild to moderate dehydration.
