Pediatric Care
Have you considered a scenario where your child falls ill, or is sent home from school because they’re not feeling well and their regular pediatric doctor isn’t available. What will you do? Do you take your child to the nearest emergency room? The last time you were there, your little one was scared, you faced a long wait time and at the end, your co-pay was nowhere near what you had expected. Now Avecina Medical Care provides an alternative that is specifically designed as an urgent care center that treats children.
