If you are not sure if your child needs an ER, come in or give us a call. We can check your child and alleviate or explain any symptoms you are worried about.

When to Come in Right Away

If your child is experiencing any of these symptoms, we recommend a visit to the ER. Don’t wait if your child has:

• Difficulty breathing, labored breathing, or lips turning blue
• Any fever in a baby under 2 months old, or a fever above 104°F
• A first-ever seizure, or a seizure lasting more than 5 minutes
• Loss of consciousness, or your child cannot be woken up
• Signs of severe dehydration like no tears when crying, dry mouth, or no urination for 8 hours or more
• A head injury with vomiting, confusion, or unequal pupils
• A severe allergic reaction with throat, tongue, or face swelling
• Uncontrolled bleeding after applying pressure

Call 911 If your child is in immediate danger. For everything else that can’t wait for a pediatrician, please come by and we’ll help.

Pediatric ER or Urgent Care for Children?

West Village ER is a standalone pediatric emergency room, not an urgent care clinic. An ER is often the best choice when your child needs immediate testing, monitoring, diagnosis or treatment.

• Physicians: Your child is seen, diagnosed, and treated by a board certified ER physician not physicians assistant or nurse.
• Imaging: CT, X-ray, and ultrasound are available on-site when needed. A key difference between the two .
• Lab: A full in-house lab helps us diagnose and treat during the same visit.
• Hours: We are open 24/7/365, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
• Severity: We can evaluate serious symptoms that urgent care may not be equipped to manage.

An Urgent is useful for minor issues that are not time-sensitive. If you are unsure how serious your child’s symptoms are, an emergency room is the best choice.

What to Expect When You Arrive

Check In
Check in online or walk in anytime—no appointment is required. Upon arrival, your child will be taken directly to a private treatment room without the long lobby wait often experienced in a traditional hospital emergency room.

Evaluation & Treatment
One of our board-certified emergency physicians will perform a thorough evaluation of your child’s condition and recommend the appropriate treatment plan. If additional testing is needed, we offer comprehensive on-site laboratory services and advanced imaging, allowing for timely diagnosis and treatment. In most cases, you’ll receive your child’s results before your visit is complete, so you can leave with answers and a clear plan of care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you treat newborns and infants?
Yes. We provide emergency care for children of all ages, including newborns and infants. A fever in an infant younger than 3 months should always be evaluated promptly. If your baby has a fever, is feeding poorly, appears unusually sleepy, or is difficult to wake, our pediatric emergency team is available 24/7 to provide immediate evaluation and care.

What is the difference between a standalone emergency room and a hospital emergency room?
West Village ER provides the same level of emergency care you would expect from a hospital emergency department, including board-certified emergency physicians, advanced on-site imaging, comprehensive laboratory services, and emergency treatment capabilities. Unlike many hospital ERs, we offer immediate room placement without waiting times.

Can a parent stay with their child during the visit?
Yes. We encourage a parent or legal guardian to remain with their child throughout the evaluation and treatment process whenever possible. We believe family involvement helps provide a more comfortable and reassuring experience for both children and parents.

How long is the wait?
There are no routine waiting room delays. Upon arrival, your child will be taken directly to a private treatment room, where one of our board-certified emergency physicians will begin the evaluation within minutes.
