What are sick visits?

For less severe cases, going to the emergency room can be an unnecessary waste of money and time. Sick visits are same-day appointments with your doctor to diagnose and treat unexpected ailments. They concentrate on the problem or condition that brought the patient to the doctor's office, such as stomachache, persistent headache, high fever, cold, flu, etc.

Tru Medical Management is happy to provide patients with this option should a need arise, helping patients get the care needed so they can get back to enjoying their lives.

When should I schedule sick visits?

Sick visits are intended to treat common and less serious ailments that appear unexpectedly and cause alarm or discomfort. These can include:

• Cold or flu
• High fever
• Rash
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Persistent pain like stomach ache, headache, etc.
• Unusual symptoms

When more serious issues arise, like altered consciousness, chest pain, or more severe pain, seek emergency medical care by dialing 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. 

Sick visits are still the better choice when appropriate.

Who are sick visits for?

Adults can have sick visits, although children have sick visits more often. While some adults might not feel the need to seek care for cold or flu symptoms, it’s a good idea to schedule a sick visit if you are experiencing a high fever, as this can present a more serious problem.

Sick visits are a great way to get the medical care you need in a timely manner without needing to go through the hassle of the emergency room. 

What can I expect at a sick visit?

During your visit, the Tru Medical Management team will do a thorough physical exam and review your medical history. They might order further testing to help him diagnose and treat your current issue.

Once they have made an accurate diagnosis, the team will provide you with a treatment designed specifically for your condition and unique needs. Your treatment plan may include prescription or over-the-counter medication or other forms of treatment.

There’s nothing more important than your well-being. To schedule your sick visits, call the Tru Medical Management office to get the prompt care you need when you need it. Or book your appointment online, which is fast and convenient.
