New Urgent Care for Children in Mobile, Alabama
To the parents that can relate to having a sick child every week after starting daycare, or a child that starts running a high temp on a Saturday morning, or even one that fell and split their chin open right before bedtime, we have been there. It is the absolute worst to see our babies not feeling well or hurt and we know the dread of an emergency room visit when the pediatrician’s office isn’t open. Raising kids is not for the faint of heart and as moms of boys we can honestly say we foresee many more unexpected visits to the doctor in our future.
While we are not looking forward to any illnesses or injuries, we are very excited to announce that Mobile now has an Urgent Care for Children! Why would this be such exciting news?
- It provides parents a pediatric focused healthcare location that is open late nights, weekends, and 365 days a year (even on Holidays). The hours are set to help those that need it when your child’s primary pediatrician is not available and you are trying to avoid a long, expensive trip to the ER.
- They accept walk-ins of course, but also make it easy to set up an appointment online. No need to call or get there early to fill out paperwork, you simply do everything from your phone, which means you can do it from anywhere. They text you when your appointment is next, so you do not have to wait in a lobby full of sick kids. Either way is convenient and we are speaking from experience!
Urgent Care for Children provides care for newborns to 21 years of age from pediatricians and pediatric nurse practitioners. They are highly trained to treat minor illnesses and injuries for our youth including:
- Fever
- Allergies
- Coughs, Cold, and Flu
- Sprains, Strains, Stitches
- Vomiting/Diarrhea
- Earaches
- Insect bites and Stings
Their on-site services include:
- X-ray- For minor fractures they can provide casting.
- Laboratory Services- Rapid Strep/Flu/RSV tests, complete blood count, monospot test, urine analysis.
- Covid-19 Testing
- In-House Pharmacy-Offering many common pediatric prescriptions for less.
- Language Translation
- Ear Piercing
While any parent could acknowledge that the hours and pediatric staff alone will provide quick, convenient, and excellent treatment, Urgent Care for Children really takes their service to another level by providing sensory friendly amenities. Each of their clinics have a separate waiting room to accommodate patients who may respond better in a quieter environment with less stimulations. Parents can also receive a sensory bag that contains items that can help lessen sensory overload and help engage your child while in clinic.
We feel honored to have been invited to the new Mobile location to celebrate their grand opening. We have certainly been impressed with the staff and know their services will truly benefit our local families in a big way. When the unexpected and inevitable incidents occur, trust in Urgent Care for Children because you will be pleasantly surprised by the amenities and compassionate care they deliver.
