Same Day Sick Visits & Urgent Needs in Rockville, Gaithersburg & Columbia, MD

When you are sick, you want your own practice, today, not a stranger at an urgent care counter reading your history for the first time. We reserve same day and next day appointments for acute needs, so established and new patients alike can be seen quickly by a team with on site testing and your records at hand.

What We See Same Day

  • Respiratory infections, cough, sore throat, and flu like illness, with in office strep and flu testing, and asthma or COPD exacerbations
  • Urinary tract infections, with in office urinalysis
  • Sinus infections and ear pain
  • Skin rashes, minor bites, and localized infections
  • Stomach bugs, nausea, and diarrhea
  • Minor sprains and strains

Because the visit happens inside your medical home, the treatment accounts for your medications and conditions, and the follow up is already built in.

When It Is Not Us: Go to the ER

Chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of stroke, heavy bleeding, severe abdominal pain, and major injuries belong in the emergency room; call 911. For everything in between, call the office first, and we will tell you honestly whether today’s right answer is our office, a video visit, or the ER.
