Putting the Kids First
Meet the Providers
We founded Care+ Pediatrics Urgent Care, your premier pediatric urgent care clinic located in the heart of Oklahoma City, in 2022. Care+ is one of only a few independent pediatric urgent care clinics in the area, giving us more flexibility in approach to and pricing of your care.
Care+ Pediatrics Urgent Care’s main focus is ensuring your children are comfortable during their visit. Every aspect of our office – from our décor to our staff – is curated to make a trip to the doctor’s a pleasant experience. Our pediatric providers take the time and care to make sure your child isn’t scared about receiving their treatment.
