When your pediatrician’s office is closed and your child needs medical treatment, we offer the comfort of walk-in urgent care service with no appointment needed. With a typically lower co-pay than an emergency room, the Nicklaus Children’s Urgent Care Centers offer personalized and prompt care for babies, children, teens and young adults through 20 years old provided by board-certified pediatric physicians for minor injuries and illnesses.
