“I feel so lucky to have found Brave Care to take over our Cross Creek Pediatrics clinic, as they care as much as I do about giving you and your kids the best healthcare experience possible. I’m impressed by what they’re building and I’m excited to see their modern, thoughtful, and high-quality care coming to our community,” said Dr. Barbara Appel of Cross Creek Pediatrics.
Brave Care was founded by parents and doctors to empower every child to reach their full potential. They offer a modern approach to pediatric healthcare focusing on a personalized care experience for kids and a convenient clinic experience for parents.
- They've designed kid-friendly clinics and hired an expert staff of pediatric providers that love kids. They have an industry-leading NPS score (which rates customer happiness) of 92 and over 400 5-star reviews on Google.
- They offer the full spectrum of primary care - including well-child visits, immunizations/vaccines, circumcision, preventative care, and treatment of other childhood illnesses.
- They offer pediatric urgent care that is often 10x less expensive than the emergency room. They treat broken bones, foreign objects in noses/ears, stitches, concussions, and other childhood injuries.
- They make referrals to specialists when needed and act as the hub of care. They coordinate with specialists, organize all medical records, and help parents understand the full picture of their child's health.
“Brave Care is truly disrupting how we conduct pediatric healthcare in this country,” said Dr. Corey Fish, Chief Medical Officer at Brave Care. “We are both a children’s healthcare company staffed by pediatric experts who deliver exceptional care, and a technology company run by people who deeply empathize with parents and love kids. Through building state-of-the-art clinics like the one in Fayetteville, NC, and leveraging the power of technology, we can create the best care experiences using modern tools, but never losing the thoughtfulness that comes with personalized care.”
Apart from creating a care experience that kids love, Brave Care has also created a clinic experience that makes it easy for parents.
- They offer parent-friendly hours and are open 9 am to 9 pm every day (including weekends).
- Each clinic is a one-stop-shop for parents with on-site pharmacy and X-ray (X-ray doesn't arrive until Nov 2021).
- Parents can make appointments online or by phone with many same-day appointments available.
- Parents can receive unlimited advice from a pediatric nurse anytime, anywhere by calling the 24/7 nurse line or through texting in the Brave Care Parent App.
But Brave Care doesn't just offer a best-in-class clinic experience, they're also building one of the best collections of free guides and resources for parents. You can learn to care for mild illnesses (like coughs, burns, and breathing trouble) at home with their Home Care Guides. Or learn how to spot common childhood illnesses like croup, RSV, and Impetigo with their Illness Guides. They also have a Symptoms Checker which provides instant recommendations on whether to treat at home, go to Brave Care, or call 911 for many injuries including potential concussions, swallowed objects, breathing troubles, and many more.
Brave Care is honored to join the Fayetteville community and to begin building relationships with the parents and children in this tight-knit community.
“I have been to a Brave Care clinic twenty-six times as a parent, not as the CEO, and I’m grateful we have the opportunity to offer children in Fayetteville the same excellent care I’ve received with my own daughters,” said Darius Monsef, Brave Care founder and CEO. “I also come from a tight-knit community, and I know how important relationships are in cities like Fayetteville. We’re honored to join this wonderful community and be there for kids when they need care and for parents who never need to worry alone.”
