Pediatric Urgent Care

Compassionate Care for Children When You Need It Most

When your child isn't feeling well or gets hurt unexpectedly, you want care that's convenient, compassionate, and trusted. At Advocate Urgent Care, we provide walk-in pediatric urgent care for children 6 months and older, helping families get the answers and treatment they need without the long wait for an appointment.

Whether your child wakes up with a fever, suffers a minor injury at school, or needs a physical before sports season begins, our experienced providers are here to help. We take the time to listen, explain your child's diagnosis, and create a treatment plan that gives parents peace of mind while helping children get back to feeling their best.

Pediatric Illness & Injury Treatment

School & Sports Physicals

A new school year or sports season should begin with confidence. Advocate Urgent Care offers convenient school and sports physicals that help ensure your child is healthy and ready to participate in the activities they enjoy.

Whether your child is entering kindergarten, joining a new sports team, or participating in extracurricular activities, our providers perform thorough physical examinations designed to identify any health concerns before participation.

Our school and sports physicals include:

  • Review of medical history

  • Height, weight, and vital signs

  • Vision evaluation when appropriate

  • Heart and lung assessment

  • Musculoskeletal evaluation

  • Discussion of previous injuries or medical conditions

  • Completion of required school or athletic forms

Walk-ins are always welcome, making it easy to fit your child's physical into your family's busy schedule. If additional follow-up or specialist care is recommended, we'll help you understand the next steps.

On-Site Services for Faster Care

Children don't always have the patience to wait for multiple appointments, and parents appreciate getting answers quickly. That's why many of our diagnostic services are available right here in our clinic.

Depending on your child's symptoms, we may perform:

  • Digital X-rays

  • Rapid strep testing

  • Rapid flu testing

  • COVID-19 testing

  • RSV testing

  • Urinalysis

Having these services available during your visit allows our providers to diagnose many conditions more quickly and begin treatment without unnecessary delays.

When Should You Visit Pediatric Urgent Care?

Urgent care is an excellent option for illnesses and injuries that need prompt attention but are not life-threatening. If your child has persistent symptoms, a fever that won't improve, an injury during sports or play, or simply isn't acting like themselves, our providers are here to help.

Seek emergency medical care immediately if your child has difficulty breathing, severe head trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, seizures, loss of consciousness, or any other life-threatening condition.
