Pediatric Urgent Care for Small Childhood Injuries

Pediatric Injury Prevention & Treatment: Here When You Need Us

Children are energetic, curious, and sometimes fearless, which naturally leads to bumps, scrapes, and other minor injuries. Our role is not just to provide treatment, but also to support parents and children through these everyday challenges with calm, clarity, and expert care.

Our pediatric urgent care services cover a wide range of non-life-threatening injuries, including:

  • Cuts, scrapes, and abrasions (minor wound care)
  • Bruises, bumps, and mild sprains
  • Minor burns and insect bites, or stings
  • Removal of splinters, foreign objects (such as beads or small toys safely stuck in ears or noses)
  • Shallow lacerations that may need topical care or simple bandaging
  • Minor sports injuries
  • Follow-up care after stitches, staples, or wound closures

For any injury that’s more severe, such as possible fractures, heavy bleeding, serious burns, wounds that are deep or gaping, or head injuries, we recommend calling 911 or visiting the nearest emergency department.

We know every child reacts differently to injury. Some may cry, while others try to hide their pain. Our pediatric care physicians use a friendly, gentle approach to help your child feel safe and heard. Our offices are designed to be family-friendly, so both kids and teens feel comfortable while we treat the injury.

Prevention is Key

We take pride in helping families avoid preventable injuries. Our team offers tips and guidance on:

  • Playground and sports safety
  • Safe supervision at home
  • Choosing age-appropriate toys and equipment
  • Proper use of helmets, seat belts, and child car seats
  • Education on potential hazards in the home or during activities

If you have concerns about repeated injuries or want advice on keeping your home safer, feel free to discuss them with your provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my child has a minor wound or cut?

Gently clean the area with mild soap and water. Apply gentle pressure to stop any bleeding. Cover with a clean bandage. If the wound is deep, bleeding heavily, or was caused by a dirty or rusty object, call your pediatric care specialist. For most scrapes and small cuts, our team can provide expert care, check for signs of infection, and share tips to support quick healing and comfort. Trust your instincts as a parent; if you’re worried, please call.

When is it better to visit pediatric urgent care instead of waiting for a regular appointment?

If your child’s injury involves significant pain, swelling, possible infection, or happens outside of regular hours, a visit to pediatric urgent care is the safest choice. Other reasons include uncontrolled bleeding, injuries that limit movement, or suspected broken bones. Our walk-in clinics are designed to give families quick access to care, even without an appointment.

Will my child feel scared or anxious during minor injury treatment?

It’s not uncommon for children (and parents) to feel apprehensive. Our pediatric care physicians are trained to help children of all ages feel comfortable, safe, and listened to during their visit. We explain each step in simple terms and include parents in every part of the process. Many children feel better just knowing someone understands what they’re going through.

How do I schedule an appointment for minor injury care?

We make scheduling easy for busy families. You can request an appointment online or by calling any of our locations. Walk-ins are also welcome at our pediatric urgent care clinics. We look forward to helping your child heal and return to their playful best.
