Same Day Visits Q & A

What are same-day visits?

A same-day visit allows you to see your health care provider within hours rather than days. If you’re injured, unwell, or experiencing worsening symptoms from an existing condition, the team at Zalwango Health and Wellness Concierge, PC, encourages you to schedule a visit immediately. The team has the unique flexibility to provide care via house calls and telemedicine.

 

When might I need same-day visits?

The team recommends scheduling a same-day visit when you have a health concern that can’t wait. If you experience signs of an acute illness or injury, consider scheduling a same-day visit. These warning signs include:

  • Fever
  • Sore throat
  • Lethargy
  • Swelling
  • Bruising
  • Cough
  • Rash
  • Ear pain
  • Sprains
  • Sports injuries
  • Flu-like symptoms

You may also benefit from a same-day visit if you have an ongoing health concern that isn’t responding to treatment. Medication side effects and worsening pain can also warrant an urgent visit.

 

What can I expect from same-day visits?

The team at Zalwango Health and Wellness Concierge, PC, makes your same-day visit their top priority. They may recommend a house call or telemedicine services to see you at the soonest available appointment. Depending on your reason for scheduling a visit, you can expect:

 

Sick care

Your provider checks your vitals (temperature, blood pressure, and respiration rate) and asks you to describe your symptoms. They may perform a physical exam or order additional testing to investigate your symptoms and recommend the appropriate treatment.

 

Medical history review

Reviewing your medical history allows your provider to identify risk factors that increase your chance of illness, injury, or chronic disease. They may also add any symptoms you’re experiencing to your personal medical history.

 

Testing

Your provider can perform multiple tests from the comfort of your home, including strep tests, flu testing, and lung function tests.

 

Chronic disease management

Chronic diseases, like hypertension and heart disease, require ongoing care. If you experience suddenly worsening symptoms, your provider may perform a head-to-toe physical exam to evaluate your condition.

Same-day visits ensure you receive prompt care when you need it most, even if you can’t leave your home.
