Pediatric Care Shaker Heights, Ohio | Health Express Urgent Care

In Shaker Heights, families juggle school schedules, sports practices, music lessons, and everything in between. When a child wakes up with a fever, twists an ankle at practice, or needs a form signed before tryouts, you need pediatric care that’s thorough, convenient, and available when life actually happens.

At Health Express Urgent Care, our Shaker Heights team delivers exactly that: compassionate pediatric care supported by on-site diagnostics, extended hours, and smooth access to both in-person and virtual visits.

We care for children from birth through age 18. That means same-day illness treatment, injury evaluation with digital X-rays, preventive checkups, vaccines, and ongoing support for allergies and asthma—handled by a team that knows how to put young patients at ease.

What We Treat: Everyday Illnesses to Not-So-Everyday Bumps and Bruises

Kids don’t follow a script, and neither do their symptoms. Our Shaker Heights pediatric providers diagnose and treat a wide range of concerns, including:

Fevers, seasonal colds, and flu—supported by rapid testing and guidance drawn from our dedicated flu resources and in-clinic protocols.
Sore throats and strep—tested in minutes so you can start treatment right away.
Ear infections and pink eye—common classroom and daycare issues we address with same-day care.
Stomach bugs—vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration, with careful monitoring and rehydration strategies.
Urinary tract infections—evaluated quickly with in-clinic testing.
Mild allergic reactions and asthma symptoms—relief in clinic and practical prevention planning for home, school, and sports.
Sprains, strains, and suspected fractures—evaluated with on-site X-rays so you aren’t driving across town for imaging.
Cuts, scrapes, and small lacerations—stitches and wound care without a long ER wait.
Minor burns and insect bites—treatment designed to reduce infection risk and ease discomfort.

Many visits include targeted diagnostics through our on-site lab tests & screenings so answers and treatment plans come together in one stop.

If you’re comparing symptoms or preparing for a visit, our service overviews for illnesses and injuries explain what we handle and how care works at Health Express.

Preventive Pediatric Care: The Foundation for Healthy Growth

Strong health starts with consistent preventive care. Our Shaker Heights team provides:

Well-child visits focused on growth, development, sleep, nutrition, and age-specific guidance.
Immunizations and boosters aligned with school and travel needs.
School & sports physicals—fast, thorough exams that meet participation requirements; learn more about our approach to physicals.
Vision and hearing checks during routine visits.
Developmental screenings with clear, practical next steps when needed.

If you want a one-stop option for the whole household, our primary care team supports parents and older siblings, too—so your family’s care stays connected.

Shaker Heights Youth Sports: Game-Ready Care with Same-Day Answers

Between rec soccer, travel basketball, skating at Thornton Park, and Shaker Raiders athletics, kids here are active year-round. Activity is great—until sore ankles, jammed fingers, or a hard fall interrupts the week. We streamline sports care so your child can safely return to play:

Same-day injury evaluation with digital X-rays.
Concussion checks with conservative return-to-play guidance.
Focused treatment plans for sprains and strains with practical home care.
Preseason readiness with quick, compliant physicals.

When recovery needs extra support, your provider may coordinate services across our network, including targeted exercise plans and, if appropriate, referrals aligned with our broader services.

Allergy & Asthma Care Tailored to Northeast Ohio

Weather swings around the lake can kick up pollen and mold counts, and heating season can dry out airways. We help families anticipate and control flare-ups:

Asthma action plans tailored to your child’s triggers.
Medication management with clear instructions for school and sports.
Home and classroom strategies to reduce exposure.
Rapid care when symptoms spike—often supported by in-clinic lab tests & screenings to rule out infections that mimic allergy symptoms.

Diagnostics On-Site: Less Waiting, More Doing

Because children (and parents) do best with quick answers, we keep essential diagnostics under one roof:

Rapid strep, flu, and other tests through our in-clinic lab tests & screenings.
Same-visit imaging with digital X-rays to confirm or rule out fractures.
Clear next steps before you leave—plus secure follow-ups via Ohio telehealth when a video check-in makes more sense than another trip.

If you like to prep forms in advance, you can download and complete them from patient forms before your visit.

Virtual Visits That Actually Work for Families

Sick toddler during naptime? Teen home from school with pink eye? Our Ohio telehealth visits let you meet with a provider from home. It’s ideal for:

Minor rashes and skin checks.
Pink eye and uncomplicated ear pain triage.
Cold-and-flu symptom follow-ups grounded in our flu guidance.
Medication refills and test result reviews.

If we need an in-person exam or imaging, we’ll line it up so the handoff is smooth.
