Pediatric Urgent Care vs. ER: When to Go & What to Expect

Deciding between pediatric urgent care and the ER depends on the severity of your child’s condition. Urgent care is best for non-life-threatening issues like minor injuries, fevers, ear infections, and mild respiratory concerns. At PACS Urgent Care, our healthcare professionals, Dr. Khaled Said MD, and Dr. Walid Hammad, provide prompt, compassionate care in a child-friendly setting with shorter wait times than an ER. For severe conditions such as breathing difficulties, head trauma, or uncontrolled bleeding, the emergency room is the better choice. For more information, contact us today or online check-in. We have convenient locations to serve you in Alexandria VA, and Ruther Glen, VA.
