Your child’s health is more than a 9 to 5 concern; when you need us, we'll be there. Our Urgent Care physicians are experienced in pediatric emergency medicine and are part of the Phoenix Children’s Hospital Emergency Department staff. This means Urgent Care patients get access to the same specialty support as patients at the main Hospital.
With pediatric-specific emergency expertise and state-of-the-art resources, our highly trained physicians, advanced practice providers and staff make sure every patient receives world-class care. We treat all pediatric patients from infants to teens.
We want to make sure patients get the treatment they need, when they need it. Studies show that an average Urgent Care visit is about half the cost and half the wait of an Emergency Department visit.
In the case of an emergency, you want to see a physician as quickly as possible. We provide expected wait times at each of our Urgent Care locations to help you best plan your visit.
Pediatrician vs. Urgent Care vs. Emergency Department
Many children who get sick or suffer a minor injury will recover with home care, but some may need medical attention. What should you do if your child is sick, and how do you know if it’s time to call their pediatrician or go to the urgent care or emergency department (ED)?
