Address unexpected symptoms with prompt care
Sick visits are medical appointments that aim to address sudden or short-term health concerns. These include symptoms such as sore throat, fever, cough, rash, nausea, or infections that arise unexpectedly and disrupt your routine. At Luxury Lifestyle Medicine, sick visits are never rushed. You’ll receive thorough, compassionate care that honors your time and concerns. Dr. Mila Lopez listens closely, evaluates your condition holistically, and offers treatment options that align with your preferences and wellness goals.
Sick visits can help with these symptoms:
- Sore throat or persistent cough
- Fever, chills, or body aches
- Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
- Sinus pressure or nasal congestion
- Skin rashes or allergic reactions
- Urinary discomfort or burning sensation
- Earache or sudden hearing changes
- Eye redness, irritation, or discharge
- Unexplained fatigue or dizziness
- Minor injuries or mild pain
What happens during a sick visit?
Dr. Lopez begins with a detailed review of your symptoms, medical history, and any recent exposures. She performs a focused physical examination based on your primary complaint, such as auscultating your lungs if you have a cough or palpating lymph nodes if you have a sore throat. If indicated, she may order rapid diagnostics, such as strep or flu testing, urinalysis, or blood work. Based on her findings, Dr. Lopez provides evidence-based treatment options, including prescriptions, supportive therapies, or further imaging referrals.
Acute Illness & Sick Visit FAQs
What types of conditions are treated during a sick visit?
Sick visits aim to evaluate and treat sudden, short-term health issues (acute illnesses). These include respiratory infections (such as colds, flu, or bronchitis), sore throat, sinus infections, stomach viruses, urinary tract infections, minor injuries, headaches, rashes, and more. If you’re unsure whether your symptoms require a visit, you can message Dr. Lopez directly via text for guidance.
How is the care different from urgent care clinics?
Unlike crowded urgent care centers with limited time and impersonal service, your visit with Dr. Lopez is calm, comprehensive, and personalized to your specific needs. You’ll be evaluated by a board-certified physician who knows your history and values your input. There are no long wait times or cookie-cutter treatments, just thoughtful, holistic care.
What if I start to feel worse after my visit?
You have direct access to Dr. Lopez via text or secure messaging, even after your appointment. If your condition changes, she will guide you through the next steps, whether it’s an adjustment to your treatment plan, further testing, or a follow-up visit. You’re never left alone.
Can I get same-day or next-day appointments?
Yes. One of the hallmarks of care at Luxury Lifestyle Medicine is timely access. As a member, you enjoy same-day or next-day appointments in person or via telemedicine, so you never have to wait days to be seen when you’re unwell. Your time is valuable.
Will I receive a prescription if needed?
Absolutely. If Dr. Lopez determines that your condition requires a prescription, whether it’s an antibiotic, antiviral, or symptom-relieving medication, she will send it to your preferred pharmacy. She is also conservative with prescriptions, ensuring they’re used only when necessary.
Do I need to be a member to schedule a sick visit?
Sick visits are included in your membership. If you’re not a member, you may still be able to schedule a one-time visit for acute concerns on a case-by-case basis. However, members receive priority access and ongoing care coordination for a truly seamless experience.
