Illness & Injury
When your child is sick or hurt, you want care you can trust, fast, and from someone who already knows them. Our team is here for everything from everyday illnesses to unexpected injuries, with same-day appointments available seven days a week.
Book a VisitSick visits are for important but non-emergency concerns. If your child is experiencing a seizure, severe difficulty breathing, or a serious injury, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately.
Same-Day Care, Every Day
When your child is sick, injured, or experiencing a new problem, we understand how important it is to be seen quickly, and by someone who knows your child.
At Your Convenience
Sick visits are available seven days a week, including weekends, so your child can be seen when illness actually happens, not just when it's convenient for a schedule.
Seen Quickly
Same-day appointments mean your child gets timely care without a trip to urgent care or the ER for most common illnesses and injuries. We work to get you in fast, because waiting makes everything harder.
Seen By Someone Who Knows
Your child is seen by a provider who has access to their full history, not a stranger at an urgent care clinic. That continuity means better, more informed care.
Always Available
Between visits, our 24/7 nurse advice line is here to help you decide what to do next. One call can give you the guidance and reassurance you need, any time of day or night.

When to make an appointment
It's not always easy to know when a child should be seen by a pediatrician, especially during cold and flu season. Though many common illnesses can be safely managed at home, some symptoms may be a sign that your child needs medical evaluation.
We recommend scheduling an appointment if your child develops any of the following:
- Fever in infants younger than 12 months
- High fever accompanied by vomiting, rash, confusion, severe headache, or neck stiffness
- Fever lasting more than three days
- Difficulty breathing, rapid breathing, or labored breathing
- Persistent or repeated vomiting
- Frequent or severe diarrhea
- Signs of dehydration, including poor fluid intake, decreased urination, dry mouth, or unusual sleepiness
- Ongoing pain such as ear pain, sore throat, stomach pain, or headache
- A widespread or concerning rash
- Symptoms that are worsening or not improving after several days
- Any symptom or behavior that feels unusual or concerning for your child

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What’s the difference between a same-day visit and an expanded problem visit?
A same-day visit is best for straightforward concerns like fever, sore throat, ear pain, rash, or pink eye. An expanded problem visit allows more time for concerns that need deeper discussion, like ADHD, ongoing health issues, behavioral questions, or when you have several things to address at once.
-
Can I be seen at any TCC location or do I need to go to my regular one?
You're welcome to be seen at any of our three locations. While we always aim to connect you with your regular provider, any member of our team has access to your child's full health history.
-
What in-office tests do you have available?
We can test for many common conditions right in the clinic, including COVID, influenza A and B, RSV, strep, and mono. We can also collect blood samples for a wide range of other conditions without a separate lab visit.
