As primary care physicians, we can provide “Acute Care Visits” or healthcare encounter that focuses on addressing a sudden and severe medical issue or condition. Acute care typically deals with the diagnosis and treatment of short-term, urgent health problems, such as injuries, infections, or exacerbations of chronic illnesses.
At HEALTH 210 Primary Care Clinic, we have same day appointments available to avoid excessive ER costs and wait times. Examples of conditions that can be managed during an Acute visit:
Common colds, sinus infections, and mild cases of bronchitis typically caused by viruses affecting breathing passages.
Mild UTIs without severe symptoms or complications can be treated with antibiotics in a clinic setting.
Many skin infections, such as minor abscesses, cellulitis, and impetigo, can be managed in clinics through wound care and antibiotics.
Sprains, strains, minor fractures, and lacerations that do not require surgery may be treated in clinics.
Acute gastroenteritis (stomach flu) and mild cases of food poisoning can often be managed in clinics to ensure hydration and symptom relief.
Acute allergy symptoms and mild asthma exacerbations can be treated in clinics with medications and interventions like nebulizers.
Acute migraine attacks can be managed in clinics with pain relief medications and lifestyle advice.
Mild cases of otitis media (ear infections) can be diagnosed and treated in clinics with antibiotics.
Simple eye injuries and mild eye infections can be managed in eye clinics or primary care settings.
