What Is a Sick Visit?
A sick visit is a focused medical appointment for symptoms that need prompt attention but may not require an emergency room visit.
During your visit, your provider will listen to your concerns, review your symptoms, perform an exam, and recommend the next best step for treatment.
Your sick visit may include:
- A review of your symptoms and medical history
- A physical exam
- Rapid testing, if needed
- Diagnosis and treatment recommendations
- Prescription medication, when appropriate
- Follow-up instructions or referrals, if needed
Our goal is to give you clear answers and a care plan you can feel confident about.
Common Reasons to Schedule a Sick Visit
You may want to schedule a sick visit if you are experiencing new or worsening symptoms such as:
- Cough, congestion, or sore throat
- Fever or chills
- Sinus pressure or sinus infection symptoms
- Ear pain
- Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
- Urinary tract infection symptoms
- Headaches or body aches
- Skin rashes or allergic reactions
- Pink eye or eye irritation
- Minor infections

If you’re unsure whether you need to be seen, give us a call. Our team can help guide you on the best next step.
Same-Day Appointments & Walk-In Care
Illness can come on quickly — and when it does, getting care sooner can make a big difference.
Costus Medical Clinic offers same-day sick visits whenever available, and walk-ins are welcome most days. We recommend calling ahead so our team can help you choose the best time to come in and reduce your wait.
Whether you need a quick evaluation, testing, medication, or follow-up care, we’re here to help you feel supported from the moment you walk in.
Testing Available When Needed
Some illnesses can look very similar at first. A sore throat, fever, cough, or body aches may be caused by different infections, so testing can help guide the right treatment plan.
Depending on your symptoms, your provider may recommend rapid testing such as:
- Flu testing
- COVID-19 testing
- Strep testing
- RSV testing
- Urine testing for possible UTI
- Bloodwork, when appropriate
If testing is needed, we’ll explain what we’re checking for and walk you through the results in a clear and simple way.
Telehealth Sick Visits
Not every sick visit has to start in the office.
For mild symptoms, medication follow-ups, or certain concerns that can be safely evaluated virtually, telehealth may be an option. This allows you to speak with a provider from home and receive guidance on your next steps.
If your symptoms require in-person testing or a physical exam, we’ll let you know and help you schedule a visit at the clinic.
When to Seek Emergency Care
Sick visits are helpful for many common illnesses, but some symptoms need emergency care right away.
Please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room if you experience:
- Chest pain
- Trouble breathing
- Severe weakness or confusion
- Signs of stroke
- Severe allergic reaction
- Severe dehydration
- Uncontrolled bleeding
- Severe abdominal pain
- High fever with serious symptoms
If you are not sure where to go, call our office and we can help guide you. However, serious or life-threatening symptoms should always be treated as an emergency.
Insurance & Affordable Self-Pay Options
We accept most major insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid.
No insurance? We also offer affordable self-pay options and in-house membership options for patients who need transparent, lower-cost care.
Our team can help you understand your options before your visit.
