Pediatric Urgent Care Reimagined

No waiting rooms. No rushed visits. Just a Pediatrician who gets it.

Need Pediatric Care now? You’ve landed in the right place.

At Tiny Pediatrics, we believe Urgent Care shouldn’t mean long waits,

crowded lobbies, or a Doctor who doesn’t know your child.

That’s why we’ve reimagined Pediatric Care as it should be:

Calm, personal, and available when you need it.

Because fevers don’t care what day it is and neither do we.

How does it work?

Tiny Pediatrics provides Urgent Care in the comfort of your home Virtually.

We give you direct access to our trusted Pediatrician for urgent concerns

on weekends without the wait. No receptionist.

No cold exam table. Just answers when you need them most.

Tiny Pediatrics exists so you don’t have to guess or Google at 9 p.m.

What is Virtual Care?

With Virtual Care we use phone, video and text to evaluate your child.

This way, you can show us and tell us how your child is doing. Many

things such as earache, fever, and sore throat can be safely cared for Virtually.

We’re confident that having an Expert Pediatrician that listens closely to

your concerns, is the most important thing you can do when your child is sick.

Because comfort and clarity go a long way when your kid’s sick.

How long will we have to wait to be seen virtually?

We’ll call you within the hour. You can explain what symptoms your child has.

If needed, we can hop on a video call. You’ll get clear advice about what to do,

what to watch for, and what treatment is needed.

Expert Pediatric Care all from the comfort of your couch—within the hour.

Wait… Is Virtual Care Safe?

We hear this a lot—and the answer is yes, for the right things.

Fevers, rashes, sore throats, ear pain, pink eye, vomiting, coughs, and so many other

common illnesses can be safely evaluated virtually. If your choice is

between a crowded Urgent Care staffed by non-Pediatric providers, or a

Board Certified Pediatrician who listens closely and is experienced in Virtual Care,

the latter is probably the best option.

Because no kid ever felt better after two hours in a waiting room.

When is Tiny Pediatrics Open?

Tiny Pediatrics is open on Saturday and Sunday 8am-8pm.

When your child is sick, you can reach out to us by phone

and we will call you back within the hour.

We’re here when your Pediatrician’s office is closed—and before you rush to urgent care.

What do parents say about Tiny Pediatrics?

“Dr. Maria takes care of both of our girls, and she is fantastic!”—Hermosa Beach Parent

“Dr. Karlsson was absolutely wonderful during our virtual visit. She even followed up a few days

later to check on him. I was very impressed.” —Mammoth Lakes Mom

“My experience with Dr. Karlsson was top notch and exceeded expectations..” —San Francisco Parent

Why We Keep Our Practice Small—and How to Join Us

We keep our practice small so that we’re able to respond quickly,

follow up closely, and build real relationships with the families we serve.

That’s exactly why we created the Tiny Pediatrics Membership—

So that we can be there when you need us most.

What’s included in a Tiny Pediatrics Membership?

On Saturday and Sunday from 8am-8pm, you’ve got me—

your own Board-Certified Pediatrician—just a text away.

When most clinics are closed and urgent cares are packed (and rarely Pediatric-trained),

I’m here to help you through the fevers, rashes, sore throats, ear pain, and

all the weekend surprises kids throw at us.

It’s like having your own Concierge Pediatrician.

With a Membership you’ll get:

  • Fast responses—usually within an hour

  • Personalized, thorough care and treatment plans

  • Guidance on what to watch for and when to worry

  • Prescriptions when needed

  • And if in-person care is the best next step, I’ll help you find the right place.

It's the kind of weekend support every parent deserves.

How much does it cost?

The Tiny Pediatrics Weekend Membership is just $50/month per child.

That’s lower than most Urgent Care Copays

You get Expert Pediatric Care, NOT general Urgent Care Staff

No waiting rooms, No waiting

Care on the weekends, when your Doctor’s office is closed

No more late night googling for Pediatric advice.

What’s included?

✅ Two pediatric visits every month — no extra charge
✅ Priority access on weekends (Saturday & Sunday, 8am–8pm)
✅ Calls returned within the hour
✅ Additional visits at just $50 each (instead of $200 for non-members)

✅ Cancel anytime

That’s expert pediatric care when most offices are closed— without the $200 urgent care bill.

Can we make an appointment without a membership?

Yes. Just click the link below to schedule an appointment. Most of our families

have joined our Membership to insure they receive priority

care at a discount, all weekend long. Non-members are

What parents are saying

“Dr. Maria is the most trustworthy Pediatrician we know.” Brooklyn parent.

Hi! I’m Dr. Karlsson, the Founder of Tiny Pediatrics. I have been caring for California and New York families since 2014 and have 20 years of experience working in Pediatric ERs. I am a parent to four wonderful kids who taught me a lot of what I know! I understand how frightening it can be when your child develops a high fever in the middle of the night. That’s why we created Tiny Pediatrics-so that parents could get the care they need for their child, when they need it. We hope you choose to become a member.
