Sick Child Visits

When Your Child Is Sick

We know that there isn't anything worse than having a sick child. We know that having prompt medical attention helps them feel better and gets them on the road to healing quickly.


We strive to attempt to offer same day, or next day Sick Child Visits. During peak cold/flu season, we are sometimes unable to offer same day appointments, but will be able to get you in the next business day. If you are unsure if your child needs to be seen sooner, or if you need advice to get you through the night, please leave a message on our nurse line. Calls will be returned by the end of the business day.


Please remember, that if this is a medical or life threatening emergency, then please immediately call 911. For severe abdominal pain, wheezing/respiratory distress, seizures, loss of consciousness, testicular pain, mental status changes, significant falls with vomiting, or other serious medical condition then you should be seen in the Emergency Room Immediately.
