When needing urgent or emergent care for your children, a pediatric urgent care or emergency room is what our office recommends. We recommend Cook Children’s or Children’s Dallas.
Adult emergency rooms and urgent care facilities can usually handle situations when the child is 16 years and older.
So, if your child is under 16, they are best cared for at a pediatric facility.
Our expert, Dr. Madejczyk, explains the ins and outs of pediatric ERs, including why you should choose them if your little one needs emergency care and how to make your visit as smooth as possible.
