Frequently Asked Questions about Acute Care
When should I see a doctor about an acute illness or injury?
You should reach out to BestCare Family Medicine & Urgent Care if your symptoms are severe, getting worse, or aren't improving after a few days of home care. A prompt evaluation can help identify the cause of your illness or injury and get you started on the treatment you need before the problem becomes more serious. If you're ever not sure, it's better to schedule an appointment.
What kind of conditions are considered acute?
Acute conditions are health concerns that develop suddenly and often need prompt attention. These may include illnesses such as the flu, strep throat, ear infections, and urinary tract infections, as well as minor injuries like sprains, cuts, burns, and other unexpected medical issues.
What’s the difference between acute care and preventive care?
Acute care services at BestCare Family Medicine & Urgent Care are focused on treating illnesses and injuries that happen unexpectedly and need immediate attention. Preventive care, on the other hand, is intended to help you stay healthy through routine checkups, screenings, vaccinations, and other services that can reduce your risk of future health problems.
How long will my acute care appointment take?
Most acute care visits are completed within an hour, although the exact length depends on your symptoms and whether additional testing is needed. Our providers will take the time to evaluate your condition, discuss your diagnosis, and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
Will I need to schedule a follow-up appointment?
Many acute illnesses and minor injuries improve without the need for another visit once treatment begins. In some cases, we may schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your recovery, review test results, or adjust your treatment. We'll let you know during your consultation what you can expect.
