Minor Illness & Sick Visits

Sick visits without the wait for a routine appointment

When you are feeling under the weather, waiting weeks for the next available appointment is not much of an option. At PremCare Family Medical Center in Orlando, Dr. Rasool and our team keep the schedule responsive so patients dealing with a cold, the flu, an infection, or another sudden illness can be seen promptly. Calling early in the day gives us the best chance of finding a same-day opening, and even when the day is full, our office will work to get you in as soon as reasonably possible.

Being seen by a physician who already knows your health history has real advantages when you are sick. Dr. Rasool can weigh your symptoms against your existing conditions and medications, which helps avoid treatment conflicts and often leads to a more accurate read on what is going on, rather than starting from scratch with a provider who has never met you.

Common reasons for a sick visit

Sick visits cover a wide range of everyday illnesses that do not require an emergency room but still need a physician’s evaluation.

  • Colds and upper respiratory infections, including symptoms like congestion, cough, and sore throat.
  • Flu and flu-like illness, with evaluation and guidance on managing symptoms and recovery.
  • Sinus infections, when congestion and pressure do not resolve on their own.
  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs), which often need prompt evaluation and treatment.
  • Minor skin infections, such as cuts or rashes that show signs of infection.
  • Other everyday illnesses, including stomach bugs, minor fevers, and general feeling unwell that warrants a closer look.

A note on scheduling: we aim to offer prompt, often same-day, sick visits, but exact availability depends on the day’s schedule. Calling as early as possible gives you the best chance of being seen quickly — our front desk can confirm what is available when you call.

Why prompt care matters

Many minor illnesses resolve on their own, but some need treatment to avoid getting worse or spreading, and it is not always obvious in the moment which category a particular illness falls into. Seeing a physician promptly means symptoms get evaluated while they are still straightforward to treat, rather than after they have progressed into something more complicated. It also means you get an accurate diagnosis instead of guessing at over-the-counter remedies that may not address what is actually going on.

There is also comfort in being cared for by a physician who already has your full history on file. Dr. Rasool can factor in your existing conditions, allergies, and medications when deciding on treatment, which helps ensure the plan is not just effective but also safe given everything else going on with your health.

Schedule your visit

If you are feeling sick and need to be seen, do not wait it out and hope it passes. Call PremCare Family Medical Center at (407) 380-1428 as early in the day as you can, and our team will do our best to get you in promptly for the care you need.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I be seen the same day I call?

We keep our schedule responsive for patients who are feeling sick, and same-day availability is often possible, especially if you call early in the day. That said, availability can vary depending on how full the schedule already is. The best approach is to call our office as soon as you notice symptoms so we can find the earliest appropriate opening for you.

What kinds of illnesses can be treated at a sick visit?

Dr. Rasool sees adults for a wide range of common illnesses, including colds, flu, sinus infections, urinary tract infections, minor skin infections, and other everyday health concerns. If your symptoms turn out to need more specialized care or testing beyond what our office provides, Dr. Rasool will let you know and help direct you to the right next step, whether that is additional testing or a referral.

Should I go to urgent care or call PremCare for a sick visit?

For non-emergency illnesses, calling your regular physician first is often the better choice, since Dr. Rasool already knows your health history, medications, and any conditions that might affect treatment. Urgent care can be a reasonable option if our office cannot get you in quickly enough or your symptoms come up outside office hours. For anything that feels like an emergency, such as severe difficulty breathing or chest pain, seek emergency care right away.
