How Same-Day Sick Visits Can Improve Access to Healthcare

Access to healthcare is vital to your child's overall health. When your child is sick, attending same-day sick visits helps your child get consistent care from their pediatrician instead of going to an emergency room or urgent care center. At TRI-Valley Pediatrics in San Ramon & Pleasanton, CA, our treatment providers are ready to provide same-day sick visits so your child gets the care they deserve when they aren't feeling well.

Continuity of Care with Same-Day Sick Visits

When your child is sick, bringing your child to an emergency room often takes hours before a provider sees your child. With same-day sick visits, your child can see their regular treatment provider and not have to sit for hours in a germ-laden environment such as the hospital. Your child will get the care they need without sacrificing health or comfort. Your child's healthcare provider knows your child best, and same-day sick visits with their ongoing provider are the best way to get them the care they deserve.

Why Same-Day Sick Visits Are Important

Children can appear fine one minute, and spike a high fever the next. If you are concerned about your child's symptoms, seeing a provider for a same-day sick visit will allow the provider to determine what is going on and rule out serious illness. Whether you are worried your child is suffering from a serious illness or you just want your child checked out to see what treatment is needed, same-day sick visits protect the overall health of your child.

What to Expect From Same-Day Sick Visits

When you bring your child in for a sick visit, you will talk about any new symptoms your child has developed recently. The treatment provider will examine your child, and you will discuss any changes to their overall health. During a sick visit, the goal is to figure out what is causing your symptoms so that treatment can be provided. Your child may need further testing, such as blood work, to confirm a diagnosis.
