Same-Day Sick Visits & Immediate Care for Children and Teens in Raleigh, NC
At Little Oaks Pediatrics, we know that kids don’t always get sick or hurt during regular office hours. Whether it’s a sudden fever, a sore throat, or a scrape that needs attention, our Immediate Care service is here to provide the care your family needs when you need it most.
We offer a convenient, compassionate alternative to the Emergency Room for non-life-threatening illnesses or injuries. Our team of pediatric experts is always ready to provide the relief your child needs, so you can feel confident about their health and comfort.

When to Seek Immediate Care vs. Emergency Care
While we specialize in treating non-life-threatening conditions, it’s important to know when to seek urgent care versus emergency care:
🚑 For life-threatening situations, like severe difficulty breathing, heavy bleeding, or major head injuries, please head to the nearest emergency room or call 911 immediately.
If your child’s injury or illness is urgent but not life-threatening, we’re here to help! Our team will make sure your child gets the best care possible — quickly and efficiently.
After-Hours Phone Support
We understand that emergencies can happen outside of regular office hours. Our after-hours phone service is available to provide guidance for urgent concerns. A $25 charge applies for all after-hours RN consultations.
