Open when you need us in the Northwest Valley. As parents know, kids can be really creative, and when that creativity kicks in anything can happen. And sometimes, when you least expect it, that anything may require medical attention. That’s why Phoenix Children’s Urgent Care Center offers pediatric-specific and state-of-the-art resources during the hours kids need it most. So whether it’s a sore throat, broken bone, or a suspicious stomach ache, we’ll be here when you need us.
