You might benefit from acute care for wound care or minor surgery. For example, if you have a wart, Dr. Nazarian can remove it in the office. He can save you a trip to the emergency room if you cut yourself and need stitches.
Dr. Nazarian provides various acute care services, including:
Accidents and injuries can happen at any time. Dr. Nazarian makes room in his daily schedule to see people needing acute care. Most patients receive treatment within 24 hours of contacting the office, often sooner.
X-rays are photos of your bones, joints, and internal organs. They let Dr. Nazarian identify potential health problems invisible to the eye.
Lab testing analyzes samples of bodily fluids like blood, urine, and saliva to gain important health insights. Dr. Nazarian uses lab testing to diagnose various health problems, including diabetes, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), hormone imbalances, and vitamin deficiencies.
Most minor wounds can be treated at home with antibiotic ointment and a bandage, but larger cuts often require stitches. Dr. Nazarian provides minor wound care in the office, including stitches and wound debridement (cleaning the wound and removing debris and dead tissue).
Many acute illnesses, like strep throat and COVID-19, require treatment with antibiotics or antivirals. Dr. Nazarian routinely prescribes medication to his patients and OKs refills when needed.
All you need to bring to an acute care visit is your health insurance information and a photo ID. Write down the names of the medications and supplements you take and any questions you have for Dr. Nazarian. Arrive about 10 minutes early so that you have time to fill out the paperwork.
