Sick Visits

When should I schedule a sick visit for my child?

You should consider scheduling a sick visit when your child develops symptoms that concern you or seem different from their usual health. A sick visit can help you determine what may be causing your child’s symptoms and what type of care they may need. 

If you’re unsure whether your child needs to be seen, Assured Pediatrics can help you determine the appropriate next step.

What health concerns do sick visits address?

Pediatric sick visits can address a wide range of common childhood illnesses and health concerns. Depending on your child’s symptoms, your Assured Pediatrics provider may evaluate concerns such as:

• Colds and respiratory symptoms
• Fever
• Sore throat
• Earaches or suspected ear infections
• Coughing
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Rashes and skin concerns
• Minor illnesses and infections

They’ll consider your child’s symptoms, age, health history, and other factors when determining appropriate care. If your child needs additional evaluation or treatment, your provider can explain the recommended next steps.

What happens during pediatric sick visits via telehealth?

Assured Pediatrics proprietary telehealth platform allows you to connect with a pediatric provider virtually when appropriate. 

During the visit, you can describe your child’s symptoms, discuss when they started, and share any changes you’ve noticed. The provider can ask questions, assess the information you provide, and help determine what may be happening. 

You can also learn what you can do at home and whether your child needs additional care. If your child needs an in-person evaluation, the provider can help you understand what to do next.

What happens during pediatric sick visits via a mobile clinic?

When your child needs an in-person evaluation, Assured Pediatrics mobile clinic brings pediatric care closer to you. The provider assesses your child in person, evaluates their symptoms, performs an examination, and determines an appropriate plan of care. Depending on the situation, this may include recommendations for at-home care, treatment, follow-up, or additional evaluation.

The combination of telehealth and mobile pediatric care gives you more flexibility when your child becomes sick. The practice can help you access the appropriate level of care without automatically requiring a trip to a traditional pediatric office.

If your child is sick, don’t delay reaching out to Assured Pediatrics. Call the friendly office or use the online scheduler now.
