After-Hours Support
When your child isn’t feeling well and our office is closed, you can still turn to KidzCare Pediatrics. Call your KidzCare office to reach our on-call provider, who can talk through your concerns and guide you on what to do next.
Guidance When It's Urgent
When new symptoms show up or your child starts feeling worse after office hours, it can be hard to know whether to seek care tonight or wait until morning. Call your preferred KidzCare Pediatrics location to reach the on-call provider. They’ll listen to your concerns and guide you on what to do next.
Our on-call provider may ask when symptoms started, what has changed, and whether your child has taken any medicine. Be ready to share any relevant health history and let them know how your child is eating, drinking, and acting.
Based on what you share, the provider may recommend care at home, an office visit, or getting care right away.

- Any medicine given, including its name, dose, and time
- Any relevant health conditions or known allergies
