Our Urgent Care offices are very busy. With a limited number of appointments and staff, we cannot guarantee all patients will be seen. We encourage families to use Quick Care Online to connect with a pediatric provider via a compatible phone, computer or tablet.
New Urgent Care hours are now in effect, opening earlier to meet your needs!
Urgent Care
What sets Akron Children’s Urgent Care apart is our focus. We don’t treat adults and kids like most other urgent care centers. We are 100% dedicated to caring for babies, kids and teens. Our pediatric expertise shows – whether your child has a bad cough, sprained ankle or a rash.
