What is After Hours Urgent Care?

After-hours urgent care is a medical service that operates beyond the standard office hours of a typical healthcare provider. This service caters to non-life-threatening conditions requiring immediate attention but does not warrant a visit to the emergency room. At Pediatric Associates of Austin, our after-hours clinic is dedicated to treating children, providing peace of mind for families, and ensuring that your child’s health is always a priority.

You may need after-hours care for the following urgent conditions:

High fever
Serious diarrhea
Vomiting
Ear of throat pain
Suspected broken bones
Head injury
Your child is suffering from another condition or in pain.

You may also take your child to After Hours Kids for the following non-urgent illnesses:

Pink eye
Mild coughs
Ear infections, etc.

Contact our nurse on call if you are unsure what the right course of action is for your child. If you believe it is a life-threatening emergency, please call 911.
