Pediatric urgent care is a type of medical care that is provided for children who have an acute illness or injury that requires prompt medical attention, but is not serious enough to require emergency room care. Urgent care centers are typically open extended hours and offer walk-in appointments, making them a convenient option for families. Pediatric urgent care providers are specially trained to care for children of all ages, from infancy to late adolescence. They are also experienced in dealing with the unique emotional needs of both children and their parents or guardians.
 
This type of care is usually provided by a pediatrician, but it can also be provided by a family physician. The main goal of pediatric urgent care is to provide the child with the necessary medical care that they need in order to get better. In most cases, the child will be seen by a doctor within a few minutes of their visit to the pediatric urgent care center.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, pediatric urgent care centers provide care for the full spectrum of urgent illnesses and injuries in infants, children and adolescents. These centers are designed to provide care for patients who have illnesses or injuries that are not life-threatening, but still, need prompt medical attention. This includes illnesses such as the flu, common cold, conjunctivitis (pink eye), and strep throat, as well as injuries such as sprains, strains, mild burns and minor cuts.

In the event of a medical emergency with your child, you want to know that you have options for care. Many parents are familiar with the emergency room, but may not be as familiar with pediatric urgent care. Pediatric urgent care is a type of walk-in clinic that specializes in the care of children and ailments that commonly occur during childhood. These clinics are staffed by pediatricians and other medical professionals who are trained to care for children of all ages, from newborns to adolescents. It is important to utilize pediatric urgent care clinics because they are the most experienced in treating children, and can provide the highest level of care. Furthermore, some urgent care clinics do not accept children as patients, leaving parents looking elsewhere in their time of need. Pediatric urgent care clinics are trusted providers of acute pediatric medicine, and can help your little ones feel better, sooner.
