What are sick visits?

A sick visit is a scheduled appointment with your pediatrician to address new or worsening symptoms or health complications. Sick visits in El Paso can cover a child’s specific health problem, like illnesses or injury, or management for chronic, ongoing health problems and/or medications. Common examples include:

- Flu
- Strep throat
- Ear infections
- Injury
- Anxiety or depression
- ADHD management
- Other chronic conditions

A sick visit allows parents to ask their pediatricians about their child’s condition and anticipated recovery or treatment strategy.

What to Expect During a Sick Visit

During a sick visit, our pediatricians will perform a physical examination. Generally, this includes assessing the patient’s lungs, heart, temperature, and blood pressure. Our team will review your child’s symptoms to identify the underlying condition and assign a treatment plan for a speedy recovery.

You can usually expect treatment to be given on the same day, which can include medication and instructions on how to follow through with the treatment plan at home.
