About

Our story:

After years of working in the emergency department, we have seen what a burden it can be on families when their kids are sick. Pediatricians rarely have open appointments, and finding an urgent care where they have pediatric specialists is rare. Families spend hours waiting to be seen, and then have to drive to the pharmacy to pick up medications.

We started Seren Pediatrics because we understand that you want the best treatment for your kids, but getting quality urgent care isn’t quick or convenient. So we eliminate all the hassles of getting care for your child by bringing a full complement of urgent care services directly to your home, when your child needs it.
