Although they can never guarantee that their children won’t get sick or injured, when they do parents and other caregivers will want to find the nearest facility able to best deal with their emergency, even if it isn’t an “emergency” in the truest sense of the word.  To them, it’s still an emergency and they will be looking for fast and efficient care.  They won’t want to drive any longer, or any further, than they have to, which is why they will look for the nearest pediatric urgent care to get the medical attention their child needs.  Depending on the seriousness of the situation, getting care in a timely manner can be critical so it makes sense to go local.

In many cases children require different treatment than adults, and pediatric urgent care provides the specialist expertise and training that children and their families need. In addition, they generally have a pediatrician on staff to ensure there is someone who understands the needs of your child.

The services provided at a pediatric urgent care center will vary from clinic to clinic but will typical treat children who have:

– Had a minor accident or fall
– Allergies and asthma
– Vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration
– Cold or flu symptoms
– Ear infections and earache
– Sinus infections
– Broken bones
– Burns or cuts
– Chest infections
– Bronchitis
– Sports injuries
– Need pain relief
– Sore throat and strep throat

Different pediatric urgent care centers offer different services, but if you live in the Port Matilda PA, Waddle, PA, Julian PA, State College PA, Bellefonte PA, Pennsylvania Furnace PA, and Pine Grove Mills PA areas of Pennsylvania then Olivero Pediatrics is here for you!  Your child will need regular assessments, tests and screenings and we will be there with you every step of the way, ensuring that your child is growing and thriving.  Each child is unique and special, and they deserve health care that matches.  At Olivero Pediatrics we are dedicated to providing the individualized care and support that you and your family deserves.

When looking for a good pediatric urgent care center, the first step that any parent or caregiver is likely to take is to pick up their computer and search the internet.  Searching for “pediatric urgent care near me” will show those centers that match the search criteria, but will that be enough to ensure they’ll match your own personal criteria?  Parents are, rightly, fussy about who they trust their child’s welfare to, and their confidence and trust in the healthcare professionals who take care of their special little ones (or big ones!) is essential.  In the event that your child’s illness or injury is serious enough to require a hospital visit, Dr Daniel Olivero can have them admitted to Mt. Nittany Hospital from the clinic so that you can avoid potentially lengthy wait times in the emergency room.
