Sick Visits Q&A

What are urgent care visits?

Lighthouse Pediatrics strives to alleviate the stressful aspects of keeping your child healthy, and Dr. Sean knows how scary it can be when they aren’t feeling well. So, while you should seek emergency care if your child is, for example, bleeding excessively, losing consciousness, running a persistent high fever, or other serious reasons, urgent visits help you avoid the long wait at the ER for health concerns that aren’t as immediately dangerous. 

Lighthouse Pediatrics can schedule in-office or virtual visits when new or worsening symptoms arise, including:

  • Earache
  • Headache
  • Cuts and bruises
  • Stomachache
  • Sore throat
  • Coughing
  • Rash
  • Diarrhea
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Eye irritation
  • Nasal congestion

Dr. Sean can sometimes address your child’s needs virtually so they get medical advice and expert care while staying in the comfortable familiarity of home. If he needs to physically examine your child or run tests, Dr. Sean can do them in his office.

What conditions can urgent care visits address?

Schedule an urgent care visit if your child has persistent pain or unusual symptoms that last longer than three days. Lighthouse Pediatrics treats many common health conditions, including:

  • Fever
  • Ear infections
  • Food poisoning
  • Covid-19
  • Strep throat
  • Skin infections
  • Mild allergic reactions
  • Cold and flu
  • Pink eye
  • Urinary tract infections (UTI)
  • Bronchitis
  • Insect bites or stings

After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Sean lets you know the best way to proceed and can prescribe medications if necessary.

What can I expect from urgent care visits?

Depending on your child's needs, these appointments are usually 15-30 minutes. Dr. Sean evaluates their symptoms, reviews their medical history, and asks questions. Once he has diagnosed the issue, he can create a treatment plan to relieve discomfort and begin healing.

Lighthouse Pediatrics offers expert medical care using a direct primary care membership that gives you rapid access and complete follow-through for comprehensive care, whether you need to schedule a sick visit or address other concerns.

If your child’s symptoms are acute, Dr. Sean offers same-day and next-day availability so they (and you) can get quick relief. The direct primary call model also enables you to text, call, or video chat to send questions and get answers on a much faster timeline.
