Illness doesn’t happen only during regular business hours. You and
your family need a trusted resource to respond to your child’s healthcare
concerns when you can’t see your pediatrician or whenever the urgency
of your child’s illness demands prompt attention.
High-Quality Urgent Care for Kids Close to Home
Oklahoma Children's Hospital offers convenient care when and where you
need it – with in-person and virtual urgent care options. Online
or in-person, your child will be seen by the same pediatric experts that
care for patients in our pediatric emergency room and clinics. You’ll
find convenient Kids First Urgent Care locations in Oklahoma City and
Edmond providing after hours care, and
virtual urgent care available to any child located in Oklahoma from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Most virtual visits take just 15 minutes, and we guarantee your visit will
be completed within 1 hour during business hours.
Oklahoma’s Most Comprehensive Pediatric Practice
While the best healthcare for your child starts with your primary care
doctor or pediatrician, you want that same level of exceptional care when
your child experiences an unexpected or urgent health situation. That’s
why you want to work with Oklahoma’s largest and most comprehensive
pediatric practice for urgent care after hours.
At Oklahoma Children’s Hospital, you gain access to more pediatric
healthcare specialists and subspecialists than anywhere else in Oklahoma
or the surrounding region. So, if additional care is needed, you can connect
directly to Oklahoma Children’s Hospital OU Health, Oklahoma’s
only hospital, created especially for children, as well as our nationally
verified Level 1 trauma center and pediatric critical care unit.
We Expect the Unexpected
We have virtual and in-person pediatric urgent and emergency care when
and where you need it.
X-ray services – Routine imaging for chest and extremities
If an urgent care examination or assessment indicates that your child needs
hospitalization, we contact the emergency department at Oklahoma Children’s
Hospital to plan for immediate evaluation to determine if admission is
recommended to the hospital of your choice.
Following your urgent care visit, your primary care physician receives
a comprehensive report including details about X-ray and lab results,
diagnosis and treatments provided.
Prep for Your Visit – Fast!

COVID-19 Precautions for Your Visit
During the pandemic, you benefit from the extra precautions you’ll
find at our offices to help keep you and your family safe. At this time,
that means only one caregiver can accompany a child into the clinic. When
you arrive at the urgent care clinic, call (405) 751-5437, option 1 for
Edmond or option 2 for N. May/Oklahoma City, to receive a phone screening
for yourself and your child before entering the building.
