What is Immediate Care?

Children can become ill or sustain an injury at any time without warning. In such cases, you want to make sure your child receives the needed medical care in a timely manner. When accidents or illness happens after regular business hours, often the only option for immediate medical care is the Emergency Room, which can be inconvenient and involve a long wait. At Little Oaks Pediatrics, we provide immediate care for non-life threatening illnesses and injuries. Dr. Ceyhun “Jay” Ozturk and Dr. Maria Guerra are your child’s immediate care doctors in Raleigh, NC.
