The health care environment is changing and it is becoming more and more important for patients to understand their treatment options. Just Kids Pediatrics & Urgent care accepts unscheduled, walk-in patients during all hours of operation.

When a medical condition cannot be handled by a patient's regular doctor – such as unexpected cuts, burns, sprains or fractures that do not require a visit to the emergency department, Just Kids Pediatrics & Urgent Care is equipped with x-ray, laboratory services and licensed, board-certified pediatric providers, available to perform minor procedures like casting and suturing.

Urgent care fills the gap between primary care and hospital emergency rooms, offering increased convenience and cost savings.  Just Kids Pediatrics & Urgent Care only takes care of children – from newborn to 18 years old.
