Sick Visits
Sick visits, also known as acute care visits, are appointments that are focused on addressing a specific illness or health concern. These visits are designed to provide prompt care for patients who are experiencing symptoms or need immediate medical attention.
Some common reasons for sick visits include:
- Cold and flu symptoms, such as fever, cough, and congestion
- Infections, such as ear infections, strep throat, and urinary tract infections
- Injuries, such as sprains, strains, and minor cuts
- Allergic reactions, such as hives
- Digestive issues, such as diarrhea or vomiting
During a sick visit, Dr. Zarini will evaluate your symptoms, perform any necessary tests or exams, and provide treatment or medication as needed. She may also provide guidance on home care and self-management.
It’s important to note that sick visits are not a substitute for regular check-ups and preventative care. While sick visits can provide prompt care for acute health issues, routine check-ups are important for maintaining overall health and identifying potential health issues before they become more serious.
If you’re experiencing symptoms or have a specific health concern, don’t hesitate to schedule a sick visit with Dr. Zarini. She can provide you with the care and treatment you need to feel better and get back to your daily activities.
