When your child is sick or injured and your pediatrician’s office is closed, urgent care can help bridge the gap until you can follow up with your primary doctor.
Urgent cares are designed to save unnecessary trips to the Emergency Room (ER), is easy to access, has shorter wait times, and costs less than an ER visit. (Children with serious or life-threatening injuries or illnesses should be taken directly to the ER or call 911.)
However, not all urgent cares are created equal. Here are the benefits of taking your child to a pediatric urgent care instead of a general urgent care.
