Pediatric Urgent Care

For Children from Birth Through Age 25

When your child’s pediatrician is unavailable, Duke offers board-certified pediatricians and pediatric nurse practitioners at select Duke Health urgent care clinics to treat your children when they experience a minor illness or injury. Pediatric urgent care is available to treat children from birth through age 25. If your child is experiencing a life-threatening illness or injury, call 911.
