The Benefits of a Pediatric Walk-In Care Clinic
We boast a team of skilled pediatricians trained in diagnosing and treating babies, children, and teenagers at our pediatric walk-in care clinic. Typically, urgent care clinics will treat patients of all ages. Still, a pediatric care clinic focuses solely on the health care of children. There are numerous benefits of a pediatric walk-in care clinic. These benefits include, but are not limited to, the following:
When you bring your child to a pediatric walk-in care clinic like the one at Brevard Health Alliance, they will typically be able to receive quicker medical treatment than they would be able to at an urgent care clinic or emergency room (ER).
A visit to a walk-in care clinic, like the pediatric one at Brevard Health Alliance, is significantly less expensive than a visit to the ER. The intentional difference in cost encourages patients with minor injuries to go to care clinics before the ER.
At pediatric walk-in care clinics, the atmosphere is designed with children in mind. In these clinics, you’ll find everything from colorful wall art to toys, books, and more. This kind of atmosphere will provide a welcome distraction while seeking treatment.
You’ll find the same great care at a pediatric walk-in care clinic that you would at any ER or urgent care. But a pediatric care clinic will have the equipment, such as blood pressure cuffs and temperature probes, specifically designed for children.
