One of the things that sets us apart is that we’re often able to handle needs that other urgent care centers may not be equipped to provide. Mary Beth recently experienced this:

"Really good urgent care. They were able to perform a common procedure related to my ear infection that a large chain urgent care didn't have the supplies for. I am feeling much better. I saw an MD for my first visit and a knowledgeable PA for the follow-up. I will be back."

Diarrhea is never fun — and knowing when to ride it out vs. when to seek care can make all the difference. 💙 Here's a helpful guide to keep in mind!
Here's what you need to know: 💙
✅ Mild cases? Rest up, stay hydrated, and eat when you feel ready — most cases clear up within a few days.

🤧 How Long Does a Common Cold Last?

A common cold usually lasts about 7–10 days, but your symptoms can change throughout that time.

Days 1–3:
Symptoms often begin and may get worse, including a runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, cough, sneezing, and fatigue.

Days 4–10:
Most people begin feeling better, although some symptoms—especially a cough or congestion—can linger.

But there are times when you shouldn’t simply wait it out. If your cough gets worse after day 4, or you develop a fever, it’s a good idea to be evaluated by a healthcare provider.

Not sure if what you're experiencing is a common cold or something that needs medical attention? We’re here to help. ❤️

Tick bites are still on the rise. 🕷️
According to the CDC, emergency room visits for tick bites across the Southeast are at their highest level for this time of year since 2017.
If you’ve been spending time outdoors, be sure to check your feet, legs, and entire body for ticks—especially after visiting grassy, wooded, or brushy areas. Early detection can help reduce the risk of tick-borne illnesses.
Hear more from our own Dr. Ferrara as he explains what you need to know and how to protect yourself. ⬇️

A health alert from the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is drawing renewed attention to tick bites after the agency reported a spike in emergency room visits.
