CHOP Pediatric Urgent Care, Abington, offers fast and convenient after-hours care for children and adolescents who have an illness or minor injury when their doctor isn't available. Children and teens have unique differences from adults, from their size and weight, to how they experience pain and express themselves. When they’re sick or hurt, it’s important to turn to pediatric experts.

Our Urgent Care Center is staffed by board-certified CHOP pediatricians and specially trained pediatric nurses who know how to interact with young patients and provide the specific care they need using special equipment designed just for growing kids. Being seen at CHOP Urgent Care also puts you in direct connection with the full resources of the CHOP Care Network, with access to pediatric specialists and expedited follow-up care, if needed.

CHOP Urgent Care, Abington is located inside our state-of-the-art Specialty Care facility at 1840 Susquehanna Road. Our Urgent Care Center includes on-site X-ray, with imaging read by pediatric radiologists, to allow for quick diagnosis and treatment.

Services available

No one knows your child’s health like your pediatrician, and you should always look to them first. But if your pediatrician’s office is closed or they’re unavailable, and your child has an illness or injury that needs attention before you can get an appointment, CHOP’s Urgent Care Centers are the next best option for non-emergency care. 

If you're not sure what kind of care your child needs, try using our Symptom Checker. It can guide you in deciding what level of care is best for your child and give you ideas for easing some symptoms at home.

Emergency room or urgent care?

A pediatric urgent care center can handle some of the illnesses and injuries you might think require an emergency room visit. Here are some tips to decide.

  • Emergency Room or Urgent Care for My Child?

    Meghan Reno, RN: There are many times when parents don't know if they should bring their child to an Urgent Care and Emergency Department.  Urgent Care is an extension of your primary care, after hours. So we do not handle any life-threatening emergencies.

    Gina Murray, MD: At Pediatric Urgent Care we can see all sorts of ailments, things from ear infections and strep throat, to broken bones, simple colds, stomach bugs. Things that may be more appropriate for an emergency department would be things such as: serious head injuries requiring imaging, choking episodes, unresponsiveness, seizures.

    We encourage families to call their pediatrician first whenever they have a question about their child. We are here if you need us after hours, but your pediatrician is also always available for phone calls and questions to help you determine if Urgent Care is appropriate.
