Pediatric Urgent Care for Children Ages 2-17
True Compassion Urgent Care provides compassionate, expert care for children and teens ages 2-17 at both our Palm Beach Gardens and Stuart locations. When your child is sick or injured and your pediatrician isn't available, we offer a convenient alternative to the emergency room for non-life-threatening conditions. Our experienced providers are skilled at working with children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers. We understand that sick children (and their worried parents) need prompt attention, which is why we welcome walk-ins 7 days a week from 8am to 8pm. From fever and ear infections to minor injuries and sports physicals, we're here to care for your child when you need us most. **Please note:** We treat children ages 2 and older. For infants under 2 years old, newborns, or life-threatening emergencies, please visit a pediatric emergency room.

Our Pediatric Care Approach
At True Compassion Urgent Care, we know that treating children requires patience, skill, and a gentle approach.

What to Expect During Your Child's Visit
Diagnostic Capabilities
After Your Child's Visit
We provide detailed instructions for caring for your child at home, including medication dosing based on your child's weight, comfort measures, and signs to watch for that would require follow-up care. Most childhood illnesses improve within a few days with proper treatment. Contact us or return to the clinic if symptoms worsen, new symptoms develop, or your child isn't improving as expected. For severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing, high fever in young children, severe dehydration, or altered consciousness, go directly to an emergency room.
