What are sick visits?

Sick visits address health problems that arise suddenly. You may need one if you aren’t feeling well or experience worsening symptoms from an existing health concern. These visits focus on diagnosing and treating medical problems promptly to ensure a swift recovery and prevent complications.

With low wait times and same-day appointments, Dr. Ahmed prioritizes accommodating urgent sick visits to address your health concerns and provide timely medical care when you need it most.

When should I schedule sick visits?
