Whether it’s urgent or an emergency, kids need pediatric, kid-focused care in any situation, even at a moment’s notice. Mainstreet Pediatrics is always here for you. So, give us a call first before heading to the emergency room. We can save you time and money while providing an excellent quality of care.
After hours, call our clinic at (720) 458-6543 to be directed to our 24/7 on-call provider. We can answer questions you may have, and if needed, schedule after-hours care. Our goal is to help you avoid an unnecessary visit to the ED. If there’s any chance it’s life-threatening, call 911 — it’s the quickest way to get emergency medical attention.
