University Hospitals Urgent Care is redefining the urgent care experience through patient-focused service, high-quality care, and a commitment to the communities we serve. We are growing our network and looking for passionate physicians who want to make a meaningful difference—one patient at a time.

We are seeking an experienced Pediatrician to join our team. This is an excellent opportunity for a physician with a strong pediatric clinical background who enjoys caring for children, adolescents, and young adults in a fast-paced urgent care environment.

This role provides an opportunity to help create an exceptional experience for our youngest patients and their families while delivering high-quality, efficient urgent care.
