Why choose a children's hospital for urgent care?

Children aren't small adults, which is why it's important to seek out urgent care locations designed specifically for kids. At Children's Colorado, all of our urgent care doctors have received specialized training in pediatrics. This enables them to diagnose children's conditions faster and treat them more quickly than a typical urgent care facility. This gets your kids home and feeling better, faster.

Learn how kids' medical needs are different than those of adults.

Unlike most urgent care centers, our doctors communicate directly with your pediatrician or family doctor about your child's visit. Your child's primary care doctor will be informed of any test results or procedures that were performed, so their medical record will be up-to-date and accurate.
