Whether you’re dealing with fever, cough, sore throat, flu symptoms, infections, stomach issues, or other unexpected health concerns, Salvatore DeGennaro, NP, is here to help you feel better quickly with personalized, high-quality care. 

Illness can happen unexpectedly — and when it does, you want medical care that’s accessible, attentive, and experienced. At Comprehensive Primary Care, our sick visits are designed to provide fast evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment so you can recover with confidence. From minor illnesses to urgent medical concerns, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

When should I schedule a sick visit?

The primary care services with Salvatore aim to help you thrive a majority of the time, but it’s natural to experience acute issues from time to time. Even minor illnesses and injuries come with troublesome symptoms that can interfere with your plans and make you miserable.

At Comprehensive Primary Care, Salvatore provides accurate diagnoses and prompt care to relieve your pain and recover more quickly than you would on your own. He offers same-day sick visits and urgent primary care services to help you bounce back from common illnesses and minor injuries. 

Schedule a sick visit if you experience symptoms or conditions such as:

• Sore throat
• Cold, cough, or flu symptoms
• Fever or congestion
• Ear infections or earaches
• Headaches or migraines
• Abdominal pain
• Nausea or vomiting
• Rashes or skin irritation
• Swimmer’s ear
• Severe sunburn
• Lingering joint pain
• Motion sickness
• Insect bites, including tick bites

Prompt treatment can help reduce discomfort, prevent complications, and support a faster recovery.

When should I seek emergency medical care instead of scheduling a sick visit?

Sick visits assist with non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries. However, some symptoms require immediate emergency medical attention. Go to the nearest emergency room or call 911 if you are experiencing:

• Chest pain
• Trouble breathing
• Severe abdominal pain
• Stroke symptoms, including sudden numbness or weakness
• Severe head injury or intense headache
• Seizures
• Confusion or sudden mental status changes
• Bleeding that will not stop
• Severe allergic reactions or swelling
• Suspected poisoning or toxic ingestion

If your symptoms feel severe or rapidly worsen, don’t delay in seeking emergency care.

Can I schedule a sick visit without coming to the office?

Comprehensive Primary Care offers convenient telehealth sick visits for eligible conditions, allowing you to receive medical guidance from the comfort of your home.

Telehealth appointments may be appropriate for:

• Flu symptoms
• Fever or congestion
• Respiratory infections
• Headaches or earaches
• Back pain or muscle strain
• Pink eye
• Minor burns or cuts
• Nausea
• Yeast infections

During your virtual visit, Salvatore can assess your symptoms, recommend treatment options, and prescribe medications, including antibiotics when appropriate. If he needs to see you for in-office testing or treatment, Comprehensive Primary Care can schedule an in-person appointment.
