As a parent, especially a first-time parent, it can be easy to panic when your child shows any sign of illness or injury. Here are some examples of situations that constitute bringing your child to us for emergency care:

• A severe injury, such as a broken bone, severe burn, or deep cut.
• Bleeding that does not stop after applying pressure for 5 minutes.
• A large burn on the face, hands, feet, chest, or groin.
• Vomiting or headache after a head injury.
• A fever of more than 102 degrees Fahrenheit. 

If you’re unsure if your little one requires our emergency medical care services, contact your pediatrician. If your pediatrician recommends urgent care, we are available to provide those services to your child.
