Pediatric Urgent Care: Prompt Relief, Compassionate Care in Torrance
Is your child feeling unwell but doesn’t need an emergency room visit?
Do you want their vaccinations updated without waiting weeks for a primary care appointment?
Has a school or sports physical come up last minute?
At Life Saver Urgent Care, we provide compassionate, same-day pediatric care to address your child’s health needs quickly from routine checkups and vaccines to sudden illnesses and minor injuries all in one trusted, child-friendly setting.
Comprehensive Pediatric Care When You Need It Most
Children’s health concerns can arise unexpectedly, and waiting for the next available pediatrician appointment isn’t always an option. Our pediatric services are designed to give parents peace of mind while ensuring children get the right care at the right time.
We treat infants, toddlers, school-age children, and teens, focusing not just on medical care but also on emotional comfort.
Our providers take the time to listen, explain, and support families through every visit.
Well Child Checks: Tracking Growth and Development
Following guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), we offer well child checks at regular intervals, more frequently during the first three years of life, then annually thereafter. These visits allow us to monitor your child’s physical, emotional, and social development.
During a well child check, our pediatricians:
- Measure height, weight, and head circumference (for infants)
- Track developmental milestones such as walking, talking, and coordination
- Evaluate hearing, vision, and general physical health
- Discuss school performance, peer interactions, and emotional well-being
- Address any parental concerns about behavior, nutrition, or sleep patterns
Early detection of developmental delays or behavioral changes means timely intervention, which can make a lasting difference in your child’s growth.
Vaccinations: Staying Protected Against Illness
We review each child’s vaccination schedule to ensure they are up to date with recommended immunizations. Vaccines protect against preventable illnesses such as:
- Polio
- Hepatitis B
- Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR)
- Varicella (chickenpox)
- Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis (Tdap)
- Seasonal flu
For children under three, vaccinations are more frequent. Older children and teens typically need annual visits to stay on schedule.
Minor Illnesses and Same-Day Care
We treat common, non-life-threatening pediatric conditions such as:
- Cold, flu, and seasonal allergies
- Ear infections
- Stomach upset and mild dehydration
- Sore throat and strep testing
- Fever without severe symptoms
Parents can walk in or schedule an appointment for these concerns without the delays of a traditional office visit.
Kids and Teens: Care for Minor Injuries
Active children and teenagers are no strangers to bumps, bruises, and strains. We evaluate and treat minor injuries such as sprains, cuts, and small burns, providing on-site care to promote fast healing.

Screening Tests and Physicals
In addition to well child checks, we provide:
- School and sports physicals
- Vision and hearing screenings
- Growth assessments
- Basic lab testing for common conditions
These screenings help ensure your child is healthy and ready for activities, school requirements, or seasonal changes.
