"One thing I appreciate about HopeCentral is the detail in care"

05/20/2026

It’s been 3 months since we launched urgent visits for any child and patients tell us they love it! We reserve spots for each day to meet same day and next day needs!

If your child is sick and you want to bring them asap to an MD pediatrician . . .
. . but there is a long wait time for an appointment to see your usual provider somewhere else . . . give us a call - we can see you and may have space same-day

206-455-9845

HopeCentral is now offering Urgent Visits for ANY CHILD - you do not have to be an established patient with HopeCentral, and you don't have to switch providers to use this service.

Examples of issues we can address in an Urgent Visit:

-Cold/Flu
-Fever
-Vomiting
-Eye issues
-Rash
-UTI
-Sore Throat

We accept Apple Health and most insurance.
