Phoenix Children’s Hospital Urgent Care Centers

Why is it that my kids always get sick after the doctor’s office has closed for the day? On a Friday. If I wait until Monday, I’ll have to take a day off work and the kids will miss a day of school, and that’s only if I can get an early appointment.

Urgent Care CenterUrgent Care was introduced to solve this exact problem. But the corner urgent care center is probably not staffed with someone who is trained or experienced in treating kids. And that’s why Phoenix Children’s introduced pediatric urgent care, now with four locations across the Valley: Glendale, Scottsdale, Mesa and Avondale. These centers are open after hours, weekends and even holidays and are staffed by pediatric emergency-trained physicians.

That’s just part of Phoenix Children’s growth in Arizona. Most of us know Phoenix Children’s Hospital, recognized for its high quality pediatric care. In fact, Phoenix Children’s was named Arizona’s only U.S. News & World Report Best Children’s Hospitals for the fifth year in a row.

Today, the Phoenix Children’s system of care offers physicians across the Valley with the most comprehensive pediatric services from general pediatrics to specialty care or hospitalization, if needed.
