Acute Sick Visits Q&A

What are acute sick visits?

Acute sick visits focus on diagnosing and treating short-term illnesses or symptoms that develop suddenly and require immediate medical attention. These visits address conditions that are not life-threatening but still benefit from professional evaluation and treatment.

Acute sick visits help relieve uncomfortable symptoms, support faster recovery, and reduce the risk of complications by providing timely access to medical expertise, accurate diagnosis, and evidence-based treatment tailored to your specific symptoms and health history.

At Advanced Healthcare & Injury Center, LLC, acute sick visits are designed to provide timely, personalized care in a convenient outpatient setting, helping patients avoid unnecessary delays in treatment. Dr. McCants evaluates your symptoms, identifies the underlying cause, and develops a targeted treatment plan to help you return to your normal routine as quickly as possible while supporting comfort, safety, and long-term wellness.

What conditions are treated during an acute sick visit?

Acute sick visits may be appropriate for a variety of common illnesses and symptoms, including:

Cold and flu symptoms
Fever
Sore throat
Cough or congestion
Ear infections
Sinus infections
Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Minor infections or inflammation

Early evaluation can help prevent symptoms from worsening and reduce the need for urgent care or emergency room visits.

When should I schedule an acute sick visit?

You should consider scheduling an acute sick visit if symptoms develop suddenly, interfere with daily activities, or do not improve with rest or over-the-counter treatments. Prompt medical care is especially important for individuals with chronic conditions, weakened immune systems, or recurring infections.

Dr. McCants reviews your medical history, current symptoms, and overall health to determine the most appropriate course of care.
