Need to See a Doctor? Don't Put Off Your Healthcare Visit
Have you been ignoring an ache or pain or hoping that tomorrow will finally be the day that you feel better? There's no need to wait a minute longer to see a doctor, thanks to the urgent care/immediate care service offered by Dr. Elizabeth Burnette of Forest Hills Immediate Care in Wilson, NC.
Why you shouldn't wait to see the doctor
When you schedule an urgent/immediate care visit, you'll:
- Avoid Long-Term Health Problems: If you wait to see your doctor, your cut could become infected or your upper respiratory infection could worsen and become much more difficult to treat. If you have a joint or muscle injury, scar tissue could build up the longer you wait to receive medical attention. (Scar tissue can cause pain and limit your range of motion.)
- Feel Better: Life becomes much harder when you feel awful or every step you take sends a jolt of pain through your leg. The sooner you see your Wilson, NC, doctor for urgent care/immediate care, the quicker you'll start to heal and recover from your illness or injury.
- Put Your Fears to Rest: When you have an injury or health problem, it's difficult to think about anything else. No matter how hard you try to forget about your symptoms, it's often impossible to stop worrying. When you visit Forest Hills Immediate Care, you'll find out the cause of your symptoms and receive a treatment plan that will help you feel better. If necessary, your doctor can also order tests or make referrals to specialists if needed.
