When to Visit a Children’s Urgent Care Clinic
If your child is injured or feeling under the weather, you may be wondering whether to take them to the emergency room (ER), their pediatrician, or a pediatric walk-in clinic. ER visits should generally be reserved for when your child is experiencing a life- or limb-threatening emergency (e.g., anaphylaxis, poisoning, or a seizure). While ERs are equipped to treat less-serious illnesses and injuries, they have to prioritize the patients with the most severe conditions, meaning that you could face a long wait if your child only has a sprained ankle or a mild cold. Plus, ERs tend to charge high rates for care, which could lead to an expensive medical bill.
For non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries, you can choose whether to visit your child’s pediatrician or a local urgent care center offering walk-in care for kids. Pediatricians are a great choice when they are open and available because they have extensive knowledge of their patients’ medical history. But because they often have limited office hours and are typically booked far in advance, it can be difficult to secure prompt treatment for an acute condition like the ones listed above.
When you are unable to get an appointment with your child’s pediatrician, a provider offering urgent care for kids is a great alternative. At Jovive Health, we administer our pediatric urgent care services on a walk-in basis with extended hours, making it easy for Cameron Park-area families to get the treatment they need.
