- [Why Pediatric Urgent Care?](https://sandbarpediatrics.com/why-pediatric-urgent-care/): Pediatric Urgent Care vs Standard Urgent Care Pediatric urgent care centers, like Sandbar Pediatrics, are medical facilities specifically designed to meet the unique healthcare needs of children. Unlike general urgent care centers that cater to all ages, pediatric urgent care centers are staffed by healthcare professionals trained in pediatric medicine. This specialized training enables them to accurately diagnose and treat a wide range of childhood illnesses and injuries, from common colds and ear infections to fractures and lacerations. Child Friendly Environment Sandbar Pediatrics is equipped with child-friendly medical equipment and tools, which are suitably sized for children’s smaller bodies. This ensures that any medical procedures or tests are performed as comfortably and accurately as possible. Additionally, these centers provide a kid-friendly environment that helps alleviate children’s anxiety or fear associated with medical visits. Shorter Wait Times Lastly, you’ll find that the wait time at Sandbar Pediatrics is generally much shorter than you’ll experience at most urgent care clinics. While general urgent care centers might see a broad array of patients, from the elderly to adults with complex medical conditions, pediatric urgent care centers solely focus on treating children. This not only allows for more targeted care but also usually results in shorter wait times, ensuring that your child receives swift and effective medical attention.

We provide nearly all the services available at a traditional pediatric office, with the added convenience of digital x-ray machines and lab testing onsite. Most procedures are covered by insurance and self-pay discounts are available.

- [Newborn Care](https://sandbarpediatrics.com/newborn-care/): Regularly scheduled checkups for kids, should begin shortly after birth and continue throughout the teenage years. At Sandbar Pediatrics, we follow the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Guidelines on well-child visits.
