SICK CHILD VISITS
Same-Day Sick Visits & Pediatric Urgent Care in Severna Park
When your child wakes up with a fever, cough, or twisted ankle, you need answers fast - not a voicemail tree. At SPDocs, our live-answer receptionists, on-site registered nurses, and same-day appointment slots make sure your little one is seen by a board-certified pediatrician today, not tomorrow.

What Happens When You Call:
Speak to a Real Person - Our receptionist gathers the reason for the visit and offers the earliest slot - or alerts the RN immediately for urgent breathing problems, lacerations, or injuries.
Arrival & Check-In - Call from the parking lot to begin contact-free check-in. Have your insurance card, copay, and any hospital or school forms ready.
RN Callback (Within 1 Hour) - A licensed nurse discusses symptoms, offers at-home advice, and decides with you whether an in-office or telemedicine visit is best. The nurse then reviews the plan with the physician and calls back if anything changes.
Exam & Treatment - Your child is roomed quickly for evaluation, rapid testing, and treatment. We explain every step in plain language so you leave knowing exactly what’s next.
Tips for a Smooth Sick Visit
1
Bring a simple, screen-free toy or book - crayons and coloring pages are available, but we limit shared toys for infection control.
2
If your child was seen at an urgent-care center or ER, bring any discharge papers or imaging reports.
3
Teens should wear loose clothing for easy exam access, especially when evaluating sports injuries.
