Rapid Access Pediatric

Your child’s care at your fingertips

At Rapid Access Pediatrics, we make quality pediatric care fast, accessible, and stress-free for families across Ontario. Whether your child needs general pediatric care, acute care, or breastfeeding support, our experienced team is ready to help—in person or online.

We offer virtual consultations so you can connect with a pediatrician from the comfort of your home. For those needing an in-person visit, our Hamilton clinic and expanding locations across Ontario ensure quick and reliable care when you need it most.
