Call Us First

When your child wakes up with a fever or comes home from school with a sore throat, you shouldn't have to wait days for an appointment. Triangle Kids Care Pediatrics offers same-day sick visits so your child can be seen by a pediatrician who knows them.


Call (919) 655-7873 as early in the day as you can. We'll talk through your child's symptoms and find a time to see them.

  • Monday–Friday: 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
  • Saturday: 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
  • After hours: Our doctor is on call. Call the main number and leave a message with a callback number.

Most common conditions treated during sick visits:

  • Flu
  • Earaches
  • Sore throat or strep throat

  • Allergic reactions
  • Vomiting and/or diarrhea
  • Upper respiratory infections

Why see your pediatrician instead of urgent care?

Your pediatrician has your child's history, vaccines and past illnesses on file. That means faster answers, fewer repeat tests, and follow-up from the same office that does your child's checkups.

When to go to the ER or call 911

Trouble breathing, blue lips, a seizure, unresponsiveness, severe bleeding, or a suspected poisoning. For poisoning, you can also call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222.
