Urgent Care for Toddlers to Teens
Pediatric urgent care services are available at all of our locations, for children 18 months and older.
Whether your child woke up with the intense pain of an earache or came home limping after a soccer match, Lifespan Urgent Care is ready to provide the expert, compassionate care they need.
We treat children 18 months and older at all of our convenient locations. If your pediatrician’s office can’t fit you into the schedule, you can simply walk in to a Lifespan Urgent Care center or easily reserve a time online.
We’re able to do lab tests and flat-panel X-rays, which allows us to accurately diagnose certain conditions and start treatment promptly and effectively.
Providers at Lifespan Urgent Care have the advantage of access to your child’s medical records on MyLifespan, and we can provide referrals to Lifespan specialists, if needed.
