Use our symptom checker to understand if your child needs to be seen. We don't want families waiting to see a doctor if it isn't needed. Our symptom checker can help determine if your child or teen is better off at home resting under the covers rather than sitting in a waiting room.
Urgent Care
When your child needs immediate care for an illness or minor injury, Children's Wisconsin Urgent Care is here to help.
Save Your Spot in Line
Reserve your spot in line online and wait for your estimated time to be seen from the comfort of your home. Please note, this is not a scheduled appointment, and if no spots are available, you should call the clinic before arriving.

Urgent Care or Emergency Department?
Children's Wisconsin Urgent Care does not provide preventive care services like physicals or vaccines. Your child's primary care doctor can provide these services.
Urgent care does not provide ultrasounds, CT scans or MRI studies. If your child needs one of these, they will be transferred to our Emergency Department.
The Emergency Department is for more serious illnesses and injuries. Below is a general guide to help you determine whether to seek urgent care or emergency care.
