About Us
Opening in December 2019, PedsNow is Southeast Georgia’s first urgent care clinic specifically for kids and young adults. We aim to fill the gap between primary care and the emergency room by providing an affordable and convenient option for immediate pediatric care. Our clinic is open 7 days a week, with extended evening and weekend hours. We offer labs and X-rays on-site, and can quickly treat most minor childhood injuries and illnesses. Get the care your child needs in a compassionate, comforting setting.
