General Questions
What types of conditions do you treat?
We specialize in caring for a wide range of urgent care needs for children and young adults, including colds, coughs, sore throats, fevers, flu symptoms, ear infections, pink eye, skin conditions, minor injuries, asthma attacks, allergy flare-ups, stomach issues, urinary tract infections, and sports physicals.
We also offer pediatric primary care services for well-child visits and annual check-ups, guidance on immunizations and vaccine schedules, growth and developmental screenings, management of chronic conditions (e.g. asthma, ADHD), school and behavioral concerns, preventative care, and health guidance for every stage.
If your child's condition isn't listed, contact us — our team is happy to guide you to the right care.
When should I take my child to an emergency room instead?
We recommend visiting the nearest emergency room — or calling 9-1-1 immediately — if your child is experiencing:
- Severe difficulty breathing
- Uncontrolled bleeding
- Serious head or neck injuries
- Seizures
- Severe allergic reactions with swelling of the face or throat
- Loss of consciousness
If you're unsure whether it's an emergency, call 9-1-1 or go straight to the nearest emergency room.

We provide urgent care and primary care for children and young adults from birth through 21 years of age. For at-home telehealth, we provide care for all ages!
