Sick Visits in Hilton Head Island, SC
Timely medical evaluation for adults and children who are not feeling well. Rafael D. Sanchez, MD provides sick visits for common illnesses, infections, respiratory symptoms, urinary concerns, and other acute health problems.
Care When You Are Not Feeling Well
When a new illness or symptom develops, it can be difficult to know what is causing it or what to do next. A sick visit provides an opportunity to evaluate your symptoms, review relevant medical history, and determine an appropriate treatment or follow-up plan.
Evaluation for Common Illnesses & Health Concerns
Sick visits focus on new or worsening symptoms that need medical attention. Dr. Sanchez evaluates the patient’s symptoms in the context of age, medical history, medications, chronic conditions, and other factors that may affect diagnosis and treatment.

Sick Visits for the Whole Family
With combined training in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, Dr. Sanchez provides medical care for both adults and children. This allows families to seek evaluation for many common acute illnesses and health concerns within the same practice.
Treatment and follow-up recommendations are based on the individual patient’s symptoms, age, health history, examination findings, and medical needs.
Some Symptoms Need Emergency Care
Sick visits are intended for appropriate non-emergency medical concerns. Severe chest pain, severe difficulty breathing, signs of stroke, loss of consciousness, uncontrolled bleeding, severe allergic reactions, or other potentially life-threatening symptoms require immediate emergency evaluation. Call 911 or seek emergency care when appropriate.
Care Beyond the Immediate Illness
Sometimes a sick visit identifies a concern that needs additional monitoring, testing, or follow-up. Prestige Primary Care can help patients transition from treatment of the immediate problem back to their ongoing primary care plan and coordinate specialist care when appropriate.
