When accidents occur, it’s natural for children to get hurt or fall ill. As a parent, your priority is to ensure immediate treatment for your child. However, visiting the emergency room for minor issues can be intimidating and often involves long waiting times.

With short wait times and a highly qualified medical team specializing in pediatric urgent care, we provide the necessary attention your child needs. Our clinic operates seven days a week, offering extended morning and evening hours for your convenience.

Receiving a COVID-19 vaccine is the most effective and safest measure to prevent severe illness. Similar to other vaccines, the COVID-19 vaccine instructs your body on building its own defense against the virus responsible for this disease. Typically, the COVID-19 vaccine consists of two doses, with the second dose administered 14 to 28 days after the initial one. It takes approximately three weeks after the final dose to develop immunity. Access to COVID-19 vaccination is subject to availability and regulations set by your state.
