Kids inevitably get sick or injured at the most inconvenient times — holidays, weekends, and after 5 p.m. #amiright? If our pediatrician’s office is open, my child’s temperature is a cool 99.1 degrees. However, the minute the office closes, my son’s temperature soars to a warm 101 degrees. It never fails.
So what do you do in those in-between times? Do you sigh and take your non-emergent-care child into the ER just because your doctor’s office is closed? Or do you wait until the next morning and hope that overnight things “magically” get better? Make the better choice and visit your nearest DoctorsNow walk-in location!
About DoctorsNow
The highly skilled physicians and staff will provide the care you need so you and your child can get back to your normal routine. Each of their physicians is board-certified, and their nurse practitioners and physician assistants are experienced in emergency medicine and urgent care. And all of the offices have x-ray capabilities, so you can save yourself a trip to the ER to see if your son did serious damage to his wrist falling out of the bounce house (not that I’m speaking from experience here)!
DoctorsNow accepts most insurance plans, and you can pay in whatever form you prefer — insurance, credit card, check, or cash.
