UP – The Pediatric Urgent Care Center Parents Have Been Waiting For
When a child suddenly becomes sick or injured, parents want answers fast. But long wait times, crowded emergency rooms, and uncertainty often make the experience overwhelming. That’s exactly why UP - Center for pediatric emergencies and specialized care was created: a modern, family-centered clinic designed to offer quick, specialized care for children.
At Québec Kidz, we love highlighting services that make family life easier - and UP is one of the most reassuring options available to parents today.
What Is UP?

Beyond general urgent care, UP offers a complete Injury Program, guiding children from the moment of injury all the way to recovery. Their team can assess and treat fractures, concussions, and even provide nerve block treatments (including Arnold’s neuralgia) at both their Saint-Eustache and Brossard locations. Families also have access to a Medical Day Hospital, an excellent alternative to hospitalization, which includes post-hospital follow-ups, blood or urine testing, IM/IV antibiotics, and other intravenous treatments.
UP also works closely with pediatric surgical specialists, including general surgery (hernia, undescended testicles, or other concerns such as lumps and bumps), minor surgery (GIPS procedure for pilonidal cyst, ingrown toenail procedures, and more), as well as plastic surgery. In addition, families can benefit from pediatric specialty consultations in dermatology (Saint-Eustache) and allergy (Brossard), making UP a truly complete pediatric care center.
