After Hours Pediatric Services

Since the founding of our practice, Primary Pediatrics has committed to serve families with convenient and quality pediatric care. We offer after hours pediatric services at several of our locations because we know that children don’t get to choose when they get sick or injured, and working parents often have difficulty coordinating appointment times around their schedule.

Our after-hours pediatric service boasts the same quality care as offered during regular hours. You’ll see a dedicated care provider with specific experience with pediatric care and expertise in childhood illnesses and injuries.

If you need after hours care, please contact your nearest Primary Pediatrics office.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an appointment for after hours?

While you don’t need an appointment, we recommend you call your nearest Primary Pediatrics office before arriving for after hours care. During the phone call, we will offer recommendations for at home treatment and advise if it’s necessary to come to our office.

How does your after hours care differ from urgent care or the emergency room?

When you visit Primary Pediatrics for after hours care, you will see a dedicated pediatrician. If you visit urgent care or the emergency room, you may not be seen by a pediatrician and could be given unnecessary and costly tests.

How do I know if I should take my child to the emergency room?

If you’re concerned about your child’s illness or injury, we can help you determine if you should visit the emergency room. Please contact your nearest Primary Pediatrics office to speak with our nurse immediately.
