Kids always need attention. When they need urgent medical attention, you can rely on
AcuteKids Pediatric Urgent Care
to tend to your little heroes when you need us most. Our mission is to provide passionate, emergency care for children when their pediatrician isn’t readily available, and parents like you need an immediate solution. Let's face it: injuries, fevers, asthma attacks, barking coughs – tend to happen at inconvenient hours. And using a hospital emergency room for spontaneous stitches, sports injuries or something as simple as a strep throat culture, can mean long wait times in an environment that can make even a swamp monster feel a little uncomfortable. At AcuteKids, our entire focus is to provide pediatric urgent care in a setting designed to promote well-being for parents and children alike. Dedicated to a considerate bedside manner, we’ll also work closely with your pediatrician and insurance provider to ensure your child’s care is both accurate and seamless. As for the stars of your story – they’ll soon be busy defending the castle instead of battling bronchitis.
