Why Choose Our Urgent Care
Welcome to Nationwide Children’s Hospital Close To HomeSM Centers with urgent care services. As parents, the most important point to remember is that we’re staffed and equipped to care for children. Only children. And there’s a big difference between the experience your child will have and the level of care they will receive compared to an adult care facility. Most importantly, this means you can rest assured your child will get the right care, the first time.
Micro-samples are a big deal to kids.
The pediatric specialists at Nationwide Children’s are able to complete blood tests with only the tiniest amount of blood. This technique, known as micro-sampling, takes less time, is less painful, and makes a blood test much less stressful. For your child. And for you.
Antibiotics are not always the answer.
As pediatric specialists, Nationwide Children’s balances the immediate need for antibiotics with the long-term dangers of children building unhealthy tolerances to medications. This forward thinking approach ensures your child will benefit from antibiotics when they’re needed most.
X-rays are a window to the future.
Broken bones are a common childhood occurrence. But their diagnosis and treatment are anything but common, and require a completely different process than in adults. At Nationwide Children’s, X-rays are taken by specialists trained in pediatric radiology with the expertise to understand and address the impact of a break in growing bones.
The questions we ask are as important as the answers we provide.
As pediatricians, we know the right questions to ask to make sure your child receives the care they need. It's a thorough and thoughtful approach based on experience and expertise.
