Pediatric Care

From well-baby visits to unexpected sports injuries and everything in between, UnityPoint Health - Marshalltown providers care for babies, children and adolescents to help families navigate the little and not-so-little bumps of childhood.

If Your Child is Sick 

You are encouraged to call your child's clinic with any health-related questions. During normal clinic hours, your care team is available to speak with you. After hours, you will be connected to a health information service staffed by registered nurses and pediatricians on call who will answer your questions and help coordinate the care you need.

Tips for Scheduling An Appointment

• Call to schedule an appointment as far in advance as possible If your child is ill, we will make every effort to see him or her the same day.
• It is important to inform us of the reason or reasons for your child's visit in order to properly schedule.
• If other members of your family need to be seen, please schedule separate appointments.
• Please notify us a minimum of 24 hours in advance if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
