What happens during sick visits?

Sick visits at Hale Family Practice begin with checking your vital signs, including your temperature, pulse, and blood pressure. Your specialist also weighs you and discusses your medical history (medications, symptoms, lifestyle, and history of medical problems).

They evaluate your ears, eyes, throat, breathing, and more to detect any visible symptoms. You might be a candidate for urine testing, blood tests, stool testing, tissue swabs, or imaging procedures to diagnose an illness or injury and determine how to best treat it.

The team at Hale Family Practice may suggest rest and fluids, physical therapy, over-the-counter medications, prescription medicines, fracture care, or referrals to another specialist.
