Need Urgent Care for Your Child? Choose CareSpot

Keeping your children healthy and happy is always the main priority for parents.

But kids inevitably get sick or injured on occasion, and finding the time for a doctor’s appointment can be difficult while taking work and school schedules into account. It’s important to know where to bring them when they need treatment.

Many assume that the emergency room is the only place to go if health issues suddenly arise, but pediatric urgent care is a legitimate option where families can receive fast, reliable, and convenient care whenever their kids need it.

Read to learn why after-hours pediatric urgent care can be more helpful than a trip to the ER, and how CareSpot’s combination of empathy and expertise makes us the best place to address your children’s healthcare needs.

Why Choose Pediatric Urgent Care Over the ER or Pediatrician?

If your child is experiencing serious, but non-life-threatening health problems, then pediatric urgent care is the right place to find support. Coming to a place like CareSpot if your kid is feeling under the weather can be beneficial in the following ways:

Specialized Expertise

The biggest advantage of CareSpot pediatric urgent care facilities is that our team of medical professionals have the skill and knowledge to provide dedicated services for children in need. This ensures that each kid receives care that caters specifically to their needs.

Fast Access

Getting a same-day pediatrician appointment is rare and the wait times in an ER can be anxiety-inducing. Pediatric urgent care offers quicker, high-quality medical attention whenever you need it.

A Comfortable Environment for Children

The doctor’s office can be a stressful place for kids. At CareSpot, we do everything we can to make pediatric urgent centers as welcoming as can be to help them relax with kid-friendly visuals and staff who are trained to better communicate with young patients.

Lower Costs

Finances do play a role in our healthcare choices. Thanks to a specialized focus, pediatric urgent care services can provide excellent care at a more cost-effective price point than you’re likely to find in a hospital emergency room.

Convenience

Our urgent care centers are open for extended hours and offer same-day treatment – even on holidays and weekends. Whenever your child needs medical help, CareSpot is here when you need us most.

Common Conditions We Treat in Kids

From playground tumbles to classroom coughs, our team of medical professionals are ready and able to treat a wide range of pediatric health issues in patients as young as six months old, such as:

• Allergic reactions
• Sore throats and colds
• Fever/flu symptoms
• Cuts and sprains
• Rashes
• Bug bites

And many more!

Urgent care services aren’t the only things we provide at CareSpot. We can also administer physicals, vaccinations, preventative screenings, and X-rays at any time to further keep young patients in good health.

Quick & Convenient: What to Expect at CareSpot

We understand that seeking medical attention is rarely an easy situation for anyone. That’s why CareSpot takes every opportunity we can to lessen your worries and streamline the experience as much as possible. We accept walk-ins, but you can also call ahead or schedule a visit online if you prefer.

Our staff is trained to talk with people of all ages to ease any concerns, and we strive to keep our facilities as safe, clean, and reassuring as possible. Wait times are minimized, and we use digital paperwork to further speed up the process and ensure that each patient has records of their visits.

Each urgent care center has insurance contracts in place with most major plans and our team will do everything we can to confirm your insurance during your visit. We also utilize transparent pricing so you understand what you’re paying for and why. With CareSpot, you can get in, get care, and get on with your day.

Support for Working Parents

When a child requires medical attention, they aren’t the only person affected by their symptoms. Their parents also need additional support throughout the healthcare process. In our pediatric urgent care centers, we take active steps to involve the parents in the decision-making process so they can advocate for their children’s health and confirm that each treatment plan takes their values into account.

Seasonal Reminders for Parents

Florida may not have the range of weather changes that occur in other parts of the country, but the arrival of a new season still brings different health concerns to the forefront. The beginning of the school year comes at a similar time to the beginning of flu season, which begins in October and ends in May. CareSpot offers flu treatments and vaccines to help you avoid catching the illness. We also deliver COVID testing and vaccines to keep your children safe. These are just a couple of the things children can do to stay healthier during the school year, with other examples being:

• Practicing healthy hygiene habits
• Creating a consistent bedtime routine
• Eating healthy foods
• Drinking water
• Exercising regularly

For the young athletes in your family, a school physical may be required ahead of their upcoming season. Starting on May 1, CareSpot is offering a limited-time $25 school and sports physical special for K-12 school-age kids to get their exams taken care so they can go out and play the games they love. Don’t wait until the last minute—schedule your child’s school physical today.
