Urgent Care

Urgent Care can help your child get treated for non-emergency illnesses or injuries. If your child’s pediatrician is not available or it’s after hours, Urgent Care is a great alternative to the emergency department when emergency-level care is not necessary. Children’s Hospital Los Angeles has options to meet your child’s urgent care needs.

Why Choose Us

It’s the connection to the experts at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, the No. 1-ranked children’s hospital in California, that sets us apart. Your child will be seen by a medical professional who specializes in pediatrics and pediatric emergencies.

Use our symptom checker to get health care support 24/7

Before you decide what to do, you can use our symptom checker to:

  • Choose where to take your child: your pediatrician's office, urgent care or the Emergency Department
  • Know what type of care your child needs
  • Get advice to relieve symptoms at home (when it's safe to do so)
  • Check proper medication dosage and other helpful tips

The Symptom Checker is not a substitute for professional medical treatment and diagnosis, but it has been vetted by our physicians to ensure you have access to trusted online information.
