Pediatric Oncall

Hi there! Have you ever been sick or hurt and had to go see a doctor? Well, sometimes kids get sick or hurt after regular doctor's office hours, or on the weekend when the doctor's office is closed. That's where pediatric oncall comes in!

Pediatric oncall is a special service where parents or caregivers can call a doctor for their child if they're sick or hurt outside of regular office hours. The doctor may ask a bunch of questions on the phone to figure out what's wrong, or they may even come to your house to check on you.

Pediatric oncall doctors are special because they only take care of kids. They know all about the different sicknesses and injuries that can happen to kids, and how to make them better. They also know how to talk to kids and help them feel better.

So, if you're ever sick or hurt and the doctor's office is closed, don't worry! Your parents can call pediatric oncall and a special doctor will be there to help you feel better in no time.
