Pediatric urgent care for asthma or wheezing is one of our everyday services at Prime Time Pediatrics Urgent Care, Athens-Oconee’s only kids-only urgent care clinic. When your child arrives with coughing, chest tightness, or audible wheeze, our board-certified pediatricians quickly measure oxygen levels, listen to the lungs, and rule out infections with rapid flu, RSV, or COVID-19 tests if needed.

We keep child-sized nebulizers and spacers on site, so we can start albuterol breathing treatments within minutes. If the episode is more severe, we may add an oral steroid, provide oxygen, or encourage a safe transfer to the emergency department. Most mild to moderate flares respond to albuterol and oral steroids, letting families avoid the ER and get back home faster.

No appointment is needed—just call ahead to (706) 705-4543 or register online using our Fast Pass to join the waitlist. We’re open Monday through Saturday and accept most major insurance plans.
