What Can a Sick Visit Help With?

Care for Common Illnesses & Health Concerns

Acute visits are intended to address one primary concern that requires evaluation and treatment.

Common reasons patients schedule acute visits include:

  • Cold, flu, or sinus symptoms

  • Sore throat or ear pain

  • Urinary symptoms

  • Vaginal yeast infections

  • Rashes or minor skin concerns

  • Mild gastrointestinal symptoms

  • Medication-related questions or refills when appropriate

When Should You Seek In-Person or Emergency Care?

While many common illnesses can be evaluated through telehealth, some health concerns require an in-person examination, additional testing, or more immediate medical attention.

An in-person or urgent evaluation may be needed for:

  • Severe, persistent, or worsening symptoms

  • Injuries requiring imaging, stitches, or other procedures

  • Conditions that cannot be safely evaluated or treated through telehealth

Call 911 or seek immediate emergency care for:

  • Chest pain or severe difficulty breathing

  • Signs of a stroke, including sudden weakness, facial drooping, or difficulty speaking

  • Severe bleeding, loss of consciousness, or other potentially life-threatening symptoms

Important: Sick visits are scheduled appointments and are not a substitute for emergency medical care. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911. Do not wait for a telehealth appointment.

FAQs

  • Many common illnesses and nonemergency concerns can be evaluated through telehealth, including cold symptoms, sinus concerns, allergies, urinary symptoms, and minor skin conditions. Some symptoms may require in-person evaluation or testing.

  • Medications may be prescribed when clinically appropriate and based on your symptoms, medical history, and current guidelines. Not all conditions require prescription treatment. For example, many viral illnesses improve with supportive care, and some concerns are best managed with over-the-counter options. When a prescription is not indicated, guidance on symptom management and next steps will be provided.

  • Appointments are scheduled based on availability. Check our online booking calendar for the next available telehealth visit or contact our office for scheduling assistance

  • No. New and established patients are welcome to schedule sick visits for appropriate nonemergency health concerns.

  • Work or school excuse notes may be provided when clinically appropriate and based on the timing of your visit. Notes are issued for the date of your appointment and cannot be backdated for symptoms or events that occurred before you were evaluated.

  • If your symptoms worsen or you need additional testing or treatment, we'll discuss appropriate next steps. For severe or potentially life-threatening symptoms, seek immediate emergency care rather than waiting for a scheduled visit.
