What should I expect during virtual sick visits?

Dominique calls you during your scheduled sick visit appointment time to discuss your symptoms, medications, medical history, and lifestyle. She may complete a virtual physical exam or order diagnostic tests, such as blood tests, urine testing, tissue swabs, or imaging procedures, and customize your treatment plan. 

What are my treatment options?

Common treatments for illnesses or minor injuries include:

• Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE)
• More fluids and electrolytes
• Dietary changes
• Over-the-counter medications
• Prescription medications
• Medication refills
• Lifestyle modifications
• Combinations of treatments

Ways to reduce your risk of getting sick include getting enough sleep, minimizing stress, eating nutritious foods, taking dietary supplements when needed, and washing your hands often. Ask about vaccinations you may be a candidate for, and avoid close contact with people who are ill. 

Dominique personalizes a plan based on the severity of your illness, symptoms, medical history, treatment preferences, and desired results.
