Same-Day Sick Visits in Cohasset, MA
When your child is sick, the last thing you want to do is wait days to see a doctor for care. Here at Child & Adolescent Health Specialists, P.C., we understand that certain symptoms and conditions cannot wait for treatment. The good news is that we’re prepared. This is why we offer our patients same-day visits for more urgent matters that require immediate medical attention.
While it is important to go to your local ER if you are dealing with a serious or life-threatening medical emergency, most non-emergency conditions can be addressed by our primary care providers. The benefit of having an established pediatrician is that they can provide you with continued care throughout the years, which means that they maintain a longstanding relationship with you and know your detailed medical history. This means that we can also provide you with better and more tailored care when you come into our Cohasset, MA office.
When it comes to treating time-sensitive matters, turning to a primary care physician may be a better option than rushing to an urgent care where they don’t know you or your medical history.
