Sick Visits

Sick visits are medical appointments that you schedule when you or your child isn’t feeling well. The goal of the visit is to identify what’s causing pain or other symptoms so that you can get the treatment you need.

Premier Primary Care, DPC offers sick visits as part of their direct primary care subscription fee. This monthly fee provides access to high-quality medical care whenever needed, including after hours, on weekends, and holidays.

Dr. McDonald-Toussaint offers several diagnostic tests conducted in her office to give you the answers you need about your health. She creates a treatment plan to relieve your symptoms and support a safe and efficient recovery.

The virtual telemedicine platform offers symptom evaluation, prescription refills, and other urgent health care services. Dr. McDonald-Toussaint will meet with you online when you’re too sick to travel to the office, or an office visit isn’t necessary.

When should I schedule a sick visit?

Schedule a sick visit for yourself or your child when you’re not feeling well and aren’t able to treat your symptoms at home.

Dr. McDonald-Toussaint recommends that you schedule a sick visit for problems like:

• High fever
• Sore throat
• Back pain
• Abdominal pain
• Persistent cough
• Shortness of breath
• Skin rash or infection

When you’re unsure if you need medical attention, call the office to speak with the staff about your symptoms. Dr. McDonald-Toussaint can review your symptoms during a telemedicine appointment to determine if you need to come into the office for further evaluation.

What happens during a sick visit?

Premier Primary Care, DPC provides rapid testing for flu, COVID-19, and strep throat. Dr. McDonald-Toussaint can refer you to a network of local labs and imaging centers for additional testing at affordable pricing.

Once she reaches a diagnosis, Dr. McDonald-Toussaint designs a treatment plan to help you feel better. She can recommend lifestyle changes and other ways to increase your comfort. She’ll prescribe medications when necessary.

Schedule a follow-up visit in the office or through the telemedicine platform so that Dr. McDonald-Toussaint can evaluate your progress. She’s also available by cell phone and email anytime you have questions about your health or care plan.
