Same Day Care is designed for patients who require prompt attention for an issue that is important but not urgent or an emergency. This is ideal for concerns that need to be addressed the same day, such as ongoing symptoms or an established condition for which you need care that supports you until you see your Primary Care Provider.
Scheduled Primary Care is perfect if you are looking to build a lasting relationship with a primary care provider and allows for in-depth discussions about your overall health, preventive care, and the management of chronic conditions, all from the comfort of home or work!
You can also schedule a Same Day Virtual Care visit with one of our virtual care providers.
We also offer the option of a scheduled Virtual Primary Care visit if it is more convenient to schedule your virtual visit on another day.
