What to Expect
Minor sick visits are for non-emergency concerns that still need timely medical attention. During your visit, we’ll review your symptoms, perform a focused physical exam, and, if needed, order simple in-office tests. You’ll leave with a clear diagnosis, a treatment plan, and a path to feeling better.
We provide peace of mind and practical solutions, all in one visit. If your symptoms turn out to need more advanced care, we’ll guide you on the next steps and make referrals if necessary.

When to Choose a Minor Sick Visit Instead of Urgent Care
Not every health concern needs a trip to urgent care or the emergency room. In fact, many common symptoms can be safely and effectively treated right here at our clinic with less hassle, shorter wait times, and a more personalized experience.
A minor sick visit is the right choice if you:
- Feel under the weather but don’t have a high fever or severe symptoms
- Want to avoid the wait at urgent care for things like a sore throat or UTI
- Need a quick prescription or evaluation for a familiar condition
- Are unsure what’s going on but know it doesn’t feel like an emergency
- Prefer to be seen by a provider who already understands your health history
