From a minor boo-boo to a more serious fall, kids’ accidents can happen any time. As a parent, you want to know exactly what to do to get your child feeling happy, healthy and whole again.
No family plans to have an emergency, but you can prepare by making sure you have easy access to the resources you need, close to home. Our care network offers state-of-the-art, child-friendly emergency pediatric care in convenient locations across Central Florida.
Dr. Kellock, Medical Director of our pediatric urgent and emergency care departments, says “The big difference between a pediatric emergency department and a general emergency department is in the type of staff and services they provide. When a child is truly in distress, any emergency department is a good idea. But in a pediatric emergency department, we have specific services created just for your children.”
Our physicians are board-certified in pediatrics and our nurses specialize in taking care of children. Dr. Kellock explains, “We’re able to understand child-specific issues at a deeper level and, in general, we do have better toys.”
