After Hours Care Q&A

  • What should I do if my child needs urgent care?

    Your child woke up feeling under the weather, or they suffered a sprain while playing after-school sports. When your child suffers a sudden injury or illness, you could be left scrambling to quickly get your child the care they need.


    The practice offers after hours care to established patients every day after the offices close. When you can’t bring your child in during regular office hours, the team works with you to ensure that your children get the prompt treatment they need, when they need it.


    For emergency care, please see our list of recommended Urgent Care and Emergency Room centers or dial 911. 

  • How does after hours care work?

    Valley of the Sun Pediatrics has after hours appointments available every weekday after 5:30pm. Call the office during regular office hours to schedule an apointment.


    After hours care is by appointment only. If your child faces a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency room.
