Urgent Care
We treat sudden illnesses and injuries requiring prompt attention, including fevers, infections, and minor trauma. Our providers assess symptoms quickly to determine appropriate interventions, prescribe medications when needed, and advise on home care strategies.

Our providers teach proper inhaler techniques, monitor lung function, and coordinate care during exacerbations. This structured approach helps reduce emergency visits and improve quality of life for asthmatic children.

I picked this group when I moved to SC a little over 2 years ago for my 2 children. I used reviews to make my decision. I live in Pickens and it takes me 30-40 mins to get there. It is worth every single penny on gas and every mile I drive and then some. Last week my 13 year old daughter woke up and she couldn't hear. She was deaf in her left ear. I figured I would give it a try to see if the would squeeze us in that days busy schedule asap because I didn't want to have to take her to the ER.
To my surprise, I got an appointment 2 hours from the time I called. My daughter was scared to death. Not only did they treat her very very gentle but they STAYED OPEN past posted closing hours to take care of not only us, but also at least 5 or more kids in the waiting room. They DID NOT have to stay late. But they did and with a caring smile. I will recommend to everyone I get the chance! Very caring and extremely knowledgeable. Best in the state hands down. Thank you SO much for taking the time to care for my daughter. She is doing awesome.

I do not normally do reviews but I just had to put this out there! They are absolutely the best pediatric place I have ever been too! All the doctors are wonderful and genuinely care for my children. Everyone upfront and the nurses are fantastic! One of the lady's upfront went out of her way to meet me after hours to give me formula for youngest. Super personable and extremely kind! I definitely recommend them, there is no place better! If you don't go there, you should.

I have been going to this place ever since I was little. I'm 18 now and the place is still booming with professionalism. Its a bright place and such a safe place for kids no matter what age. They are always so kind to me and my sister and always have a solution to everything. Everything is quick and easy, and honestly the doctors and nurses made everything fun. Its such a good place for kids and teenagers. The waiting isn't long at all, and most appointments only last 30 mins at most. Its so efficient. 10 out of 10 will be bringing my own kids here when I have them.

You couldn't ask for a better group of doctors, nurses and office staff. They ALWAYS go above and beyond for their patients and their families. When calling after hours, calls are returned promptly. The appointment process is easy and same day appointments for illness is a huge plus! The professionalism at this office is top notch. I highly suggest them for all of your pediatric needs.
