How fast can I talk to a pediatric clinician at Poppins?

Our medical team responds in less than 15 minutes, 24/7. Your dedicated parent coach will reply during business hours on the same day, or by the next business day if you message after hours.

Can Poppins prescribe medication through telehealth?

Yes, we can prescribe medication when medically necessary. We also help navigate at-home remedies and over-the-counter medications to alleviate symptoms when a prescription isn't needed. We provide you with a comprehensive treatment plan and follow up to ensure the medication is working effectively for your child.

Is Poppins appropriate for emergencies?

No. While we provide prompt care for many conditions, we'll immediately direct you to the emergency room when that level of care is needed. Unsure if it's a medical emergency? We've got you covered. Our medical staff is trained to help you navigate to the appropriate level of care, ensuring your child always receives the right treatment at the right time.

Do you partner with pediatrician offices?

Absolutely! Poppins works with pediatric practices to provide after-hours support for their families. This partnership delivers quality care when the office is closed while helping offices manage costs effectively.

If you are a parent, and want your pediatrician's office to partner with Poppins, please tell them about us! Referrals from parents are the most powerful way to build these partnerships. We're always excited to work alongside your trusted medical providers to create a seamless care experience for your family.

Where is Poppins licensed to practice medicine?

We're excited to provide medical services in the states below:

  • Florida (FL)
  • New Jersey (NJ)
  • New York (NY)
  • Pennsylvania (PA)
  • Texas (TX)

Even if you're outside our current medical service areas, you can still become a member of Poppins and access our parent coaching and sleep coaching services nationwide. We're continuously expanding our medical licensing to new states based on member demand, so we encourage you to contact us at hello@heypoppins.com to express interest in your area!

Is Poppins an urgent care service?

We're your first stop for pediatric care—and we can treat many cases right from your phone. Poppins is a convenient option to urgent care or a walk-in clinic, especially during nights, weekends, and holidays when your pediatrician's office is closed. We're also the perfect solution when your doctor is booked, too far away, or you simply can't take time off work for an in-person visit.

We provide 24/7 text-based pediatric care when you need answers fast. Our pediatric clinicians can assess symptoms, diagnose conditions, create treatment plans, and send prescriptions directly to your pharmacy—all via text, any time of day or night.

Many parents rush to urgent care or the ER simply because they have no other option at 2am or on a Sunday. In many cases, we can successfully guide you through treatment at home, saving you time, money, and stress. And if your child does need in-person care, we'll let you know and direct you to the most cost-effective option—whether that's your pediatrician, urgent care, or the ER.

Think of Poppins as your trusted starting point for any pediatric concern—and many times, your ending point, without ever leaving home. We'll make sure your child gets the right care at the right time, in the right place.

Quick answers, expert advice, total peace of mind.
