Need Medical Care Today? Same-Day Medical Services in Phoenix
When you wake up feeling sick, develop uncomfortable symptoms or suddenly need a physical, waiting several days for an appointment can be frustrating. At Desert Shadows Chiropractic & Wellness, we make it easier to receive timely, personalized care with same-day medical services in Phoenix.
Our medical team provides convenient care for many common, non-emergency health concerns. Depending on your symptoms and appointment availability, you may be seen in our North Phoenix office or through a telehealth visit.
Convenient Care When You Need It
Not every health concern requires a trip to the emergency room, but that does not mean you should have to wait days or weeks to be evaluated.
Same-day medical care gives you an accessible option when you need help with a new illness, a minor medical concern or required paperwork such as a school or sports physical. Our goal is to help you receive appropriate care quickly, without making the process complicated.
Desert Shadows Chiropractic & Wellness currently provides sick visits, physicals, care for ear infections and UTI symptoms, telehealth appointments and prescriptions when medically appropriate.
What Can Same-Day Medical Care Help With?
Our same-day medical services may be appropriate for concerns such as:
Cold, flu and other minor illness symptoms
Ear pain or possible ear infections
Urinary tract infection symptoms
Minor skin concerns or rashes
School, camp and sports physicals
General medical questions
Prescription needs following an evaluation
Health concerns that may be evaluated through telehealth
The type of appointment you need will depend on your symptoms. Some conditions require an in-person examination, while others may be appropriate for a telehealth visit. Our team can help determine the best way to schedule your care.
Affordable Physicals and Sports Physicals?
Physicals are often required before participating in school athletics, recreational leagues, camps or other activities. Unfortunately, families sometimes do not realize a physical is needed until a deadline is approaching.
Desert Shadows offers physicals and sports physicals for $25, making it easier to complete the necessary health evaluation and forms without a costly or complicated appointment.
Bring any required forms with you so our medical provider can review and complete the appropriate sections during your visit.
Telehealth Care From Home?
There are times when leaving home is inconvenient, especially when you are not feeling well. Telehealth allows you to speak with a medical provider remotely when your concern can be appropriately evaluated without an office visit.
During a telehealth appointment, your provider can discuss your symptoms, review relevant health information and recommend the next steps. When medication is appropriate, a prescription may be provided following the medical evaluation.
Some symptoms still require an in-person examination, testing or a higher level of care. Our team will let you know when an office visit or another medical facility is the safer choice.
Personalized Care From a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner?
Same-day and wellness services at Desert Shadows are provided by Meradith McCortney, FNP-BC, a board-certified family nurse practitioner with experience in clinical medicine, preventive care, wellness, IV therapy and integrative health.
Meradith takes a patient-centered approach that emphasizes education, informed decision-making and personalized care based on each person’s needs.
You will have an opportunity to explain what you are experiencing, ask questions and better understand the recommended next steps for your health.
Chiropractic, Wellness & Medical Care in One Location
Desert Shadows Chiropractic & Wellness was created to support more than one aspect of your health. In addition to same-day medical visits, our Phoenix office offers chiropractic care and wellness services such as IV therapy, hormone support, peptide therapy and medically guided weight loss.
Having these services available in one practice makes it easier to receive coordinated care for immediate concerns while also working toward better long-term health, mobility and overall wellness.
When Should You Seek Emergency Care?
Same-day medical appointments are intended for routine and non-life-threatening concerns. Call 911 or visit the nearest emergency department for symptoms such as severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of a stroke, heavy bleeding, a major injury, loss of consciousness or another potentially life-threatening emergency.
When you are uncertain whether your symptoms are appropriate for a same-day appointment, contact our office and describe the general nature of your concern. Our team can help guide you toward the appropriate level of care.
