What happens during sick visits?

What you can expect during sick visits at Stoneleigh Primary Care depends on whether you’re in the office or seeing a provider for a virtual appointment.

If you’re in the office, your specialist weighs you and checks your temperature, pulse, and blood pressure. 

Regardless of whether you’re in the office or a virtual patient, they discuss the reason for your appointment and your medications, medical history, and symptoms. During an in-person or telehealth exam, your Stoneleigh Primary Care provider evaluates any visible symptoms to uncover what is the cause and how to treat it. 

You might need an on-site blood test, urine test, nasal or throat swab, imaging procedure, or other diagnostic tests to make a diagnosis and establish the most appropriate treatment plan.

Depending on the illness you struggle with, the Stoneleigh Primary Care team may suggest one or more of the following treatments:
