What are sick visits?

Using the in-house laboratory, the team can rule out possible causes of your symptoms and make an accurate diagnosis. They also provide any necessary treatment. 

Your provider at Family Medical Clinic ensures you feel like a priority as you get the care you need. They might also follow up with you later to make sure any treatment you get is effective. 

When should I book a sick visit?

You should visit Family Medical Clinic for a sick visit when you have new or unusual symptoms. Whether your concerns are mild or moderate, your provider at Family Medical Clinic can look for answers and determine their cause.

What happens during sick visits?

Once you get any necessary test results, your provider reviews them to diagnose or rule out possible illnesses. They can then make treatment recommendations. You might receive prescription medications or advice on managing your symptoms at home.
