Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Sick Visits in Knoxville
When to Seek Emergency Care
Seek immediate emergency care if your child has difficulty breathing, severe dehydration, persistent lethargy, seizures, or unresponsiveness.
If any of these symptoms occur, go directly to the nearest emergency room for urgent evaluation.
When should I bring my child in for a fever?
Bring your child in for evaluation if a fever is 102°F or higher, lasts more than 48 hours, or is accompanied by lethargy, persistent pain, dehydration, or worsening symptoms.
Infants under 3 months with a fever of 100.4°F or higher should be evaluated immediately. A same-day pediatric sick visit allows us to assess the cause, determine whether testing is needed, and provide clear treatment guidance. If your child has difficulty breathing, seizures, or is difficult to wake, seek emergency care immediately.
Do you offer same-day appointments in Cedar Bluff?
Yes. Our pediatric clinic in Cedar Bluff reserves same-day appointments for sick visits whenever possible.
Families in Knoxville, Farragut, Hardin Valley, and surrounding communities are encouraged to call early to secure availability. Same-day appointments allow timely evaluation and reduce unnecessary urgent care visits.
Can you treat most conditions instead of urgent care?
In many cases, yes. Our pediatric providers can evaluate and treat common childhood illnesses such as ear infections, strep throat, respiratory infections, vomiting, diarrhea, and minor injuries.
Seeing your child’s regular pediatrician ensures continuity of care and access to medical history. However, if symptoms are severe or life-threatening, emergency care is appropriate.
Do you accept TennCare for sick visits?
Yes. We accept TennCare and most major insurance plans for pediatric sick visits in Knoxville.
Coverage may vary by plan, so we recommend confirming benefits with our office prior to your appointment.
