After-Hours Pediatric Care
Acute and preventive care for children when they need it most
After-hours pediatric care when it matters the most
At Omega Pediatrics our parents are able to come in for routine wellness checks late in the evening. We are open up to 9 pm on weekdays, which allows our families to come in after work and after school. Our clinic staff are here and happy to provide preventive care after 5 pm. We do not have the facilities to provide urgent care needs for families especially those that are not our primary patients and as such we do recommend our trusted colleagues at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, North Point (www.choa.org/medical-services/urgent-care) or any of their other 7 locations in the Atlanta Metro. They are great because they are able to provide xrays, lab draws and a pediatrician on site for quick evaluation of the potential for serious illness. Our model ensures that we are here when you need us for after-hours needs for busy parents who are unable to get to us at the regular business hours. The routine care such as well-child checks and immunizations never have to be missed because child is in school. The children do not need to have another visit after we have seen them after hours for another wellness check. With regards to emergencies also, we do recommend Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite for the same reason of being ideal for children and well staffed with the best pediatric doctors for emergencies in children. You can reach them 24 hours a day for all emergencies in your child.

Some Urgent care needs you may need to go to CHOA for when we are not here include:
- Ear Injury or Acute Onset Infection – Children may develop severe ear pain due to acute infection or injury to the ear, which can make any parent uneasy and make them head out to an urgent care center. We are here for such care.
- Excessive Crying – When your infants begin to cry excessively, bring them to our facilities. We’ll examine them and run some in-office tests to identify the cause and provide the right treatment.
- Asthma Exacerbation After Exertion – Though asthma is a controllable illness, some new onset symptoms start after hours. Go to CHOA to give nebulizer treatments and prescribe medications to control the illness.
- Croup – Because we are open till late, parents are able to bring in their children with a croupy cough or other symptom. We’ll initiate the appropriate treatment after evaluation.
- Acute Vomiting – Sudden onset vomiting in a child could lead to dehydration and life-threatening electrolyte imbalance. It could also be one of the first symptoms of a metabolic disease or even infection. Coming to Omega Pediatrics after hours could save families an emergency room visit later at night or complications from delayed treatment.
- Strep Throat – Severe throat infection is contagious and caused by Streptococcus bacteria. Our after-hours availability provides access to care and saves families endless hours in the emergency room.
