Same-Day Pediatric Sick Visits

Specialized pediatric care when your child is sick.

Same Day Appointments icon

Pediatric Specialists (Not General Practice)

Unlike urgent care's general practitioners, our doctors are board-certified pediatricians who completed 3 years of specialized children's medicine training after medical school.

After Hour Calls icon

Shorter Wait Times Than Urgent Care

Urgent care centers often have 2-3 hour waits. Our same-day appointments are scheduled, so you arrive at your designated time and get seen promptly—no sitting in waiting rooms with sick strangers.

Well-Child Visits icon

Half the Cost of Urgent Care

Urgent care centers charge facility fees on top of provider fees. Our same-day visits are standard office visits—typically 50-70% less expensive with your insurance.

Newborn Care icon

Complete Medical History Access

We know your child's allergies, past illnesses, current medications, and immunization status instantly—no filling out forms while your sick child waits.

Frequently Asked Parent Questions

Frequently Asked Parent Questions

How much does a same-day kids doctor visit cost?

With insurance, expect your standard sick visit copay (typically $10-40). Urgent care visits often cost $100-200+ with higher copays due to facility fees. Without insurance, our cash pay rate for sick visits is typically half of urgent care prices. Call for exact pricing.

Can you see my child same-day for all illnesses?

Yes, we handle all common childhood illnesses same-day: fevers, flu, colds, strep throat, ear infections, coughs, asthma flare-ups, stomach bugs, rashes, pink eye, and minor injuries. For true emergencies (severe breathing difficulty, major trauma, loss of consciousness), call 911 first.

What should I bring to my child's first appointment?

Please bring your child's insurance card, any previous medical records, immunization history, a list of current medications, and a photo ID. If your child is a newborn, bring hospital discharge papers and birth records as well.

Do you accept my insurance?

We accept most major insurance plans including Florida Blue, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Humana, and Medicaid. Please call our office at (954) 799-4086 to verify your specific plan is accepted.

What vaccinations do you provide?

We provide all CDC-recommended childhood vaccinations including MMR, DTaP, polio, hepatitis, HPV, meningococcal, flu shots, and COVID-19 vaccines. We follow the recommended immunization schedule to keep your child protected and healthy.

How do I know if my child needs to be seen for a fever?

Call us immediately if your child is under 3 months with any fever over 100.4°F. For older children, seek care if the fever persists beyond 3 days, exceeds 104°F, or is accompanied by severe symptoms like difficulty breathing, persistent vomiting, rash, or extreme lethargy.

Do you offer telehealth or virtual visits?

Yes, we offer telehealth appointments for non-emergency concerns such as follow-up visits, minor illnesses, behavioral questions, medication management, and general parenting advice. Call our office to schedule a convenient virtual visit.

What is your sick visit policy?

We reserve same-day appointments for sick children every day. Please call our office as early as possible in the morning to secure a same-day slot. For urgent concerns after hours, we have an on-call physician available 24/7.

How often should my child have well-child check-ups?

Well-child visits are recommended frequently in the first 2 years: at 3-5 days, 1 month, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 24 months. After age 2, annual check-ups are recommended to monitor growth, development, and ensure vaccinations stay current.

What is your cancellation policy?

We kindly ask that you provide at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. This allows us to offer the time slot to another family in need. Repeated no-shows may affect your ability to schedule future appointments.

How can I reach the doctor after hours?

For after-hours medical concerns, call our main office number at (954) 799-4086 and you'll be connected with our answering service who will page our on-call pediatrician. For life-threatening emergencies, always call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

What should I bring to my child's first appointment?

Please bring your child's insurance card, any previous medical records, immunization history, a list of current medications, and a photo ID. If your child is a newborn, bring hospital discharge papers and birth records as well.

How do I schedule an appointment?

You can schedule an appointment by calling our office. We offer both in-person and telehealth appointments.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes, we accept most major insurance plans including Medicaid. Please contact our office to verify if we accept your specific insurance plan.

What should I bring to my child's first appointment?

Please bring your child's insurance card, immunization records, medical history, list of current medications, and any relevant medical records from previous providers. Arriving 15 minutes early helps us complete necessary paperwork.
