Our extended evening hours, including weekends at select locations, make feeling better, more convenient, and more affordable, helping you get back on your feet.

Affordable and Convenient Care

Many conditions, like cold and flu or aches and sprains, don’t require an expensive trip to the hospital. If your situation isn’t life- or limb-threatening, you can be seen at one of our 10 locations. Click here to see a list of examples of the conditions we treat.

How Would you Like to be Seen?

Now, throw in some social distancing, and it can make for some interesting celebrating this Father’s Day.

We’ve decided to compile a list of things you can do for dear dad to make him feel special on his day. Take a look below for ideas that won’t break the bank, optimize family time, and are great for forming memories.

1. Personalized Gift Basket

You know what dad likes. Maybe he works long hours and wishes to remain horizontal on his day off. Try putting together his favorite snacks so he can stretch out in his recliner for some Netflixing. You can share the best part of the experience, but remember – dad chooses the show.

1. Let Him Sleep In

This is a given for all the dads out there who are busy day in and day out dadding. The charm about this is what you’re doing while he’s sleeping. Corral the kids and make dad his favorite breakfast, complete with a fancy coffee drink. Have the kids tidy their rooms and pick up those pesky Lego pieces sharp enough to take off a toe.

1. Make Dad the Star of the Show

If dad likes to grill out, set things up for him to do what he loves with minimal effort. Marinade the kabobs and prepare the sides ahead of time. All dad has to do is put the meat on the grill and cook it to perfection. The best part is that he takes credit for such a wonderful meal without the prep work. Then help clean up so that dad can relax pool-side or in front of the game.

1. Make Dad a Card

This point pretty much speaks for itself. The significant part is that you can use whatever medium you have on-hand, even binder paper with lines. The charm behind this idea is the IOU card that you put inside your creation. Maybe it’s a fishing day or a foot rub, or one steak dinner to be redeemed in the future. You can be creative and generous as you feel fit. Not all celebrating has to happen right on Father’s Day.

1. Family Game Day/Night

Do you have a family game that you play? If not, then maybe it’s time to dust off one of those board games on your top shelf, like Monopoly. It doesn’t matter what you decide to play as long as you do it together. Make a point of laughing at dad’s corny jokes and take lots of pictures of the family festivities. If you’re extra nice, let dad win so the day can end on a high note.

From our Quick Care Med family to yours, have a wonderful Father’s Day. Remember, we have ten urgent cares across four counties to ensure everyone is well this Father’s Day. We offer office and Telemedicine visits. Click here to schedule a Telemedicine appointment.

but with the recent outbreak, we are taking additional measures to ensure your safety.

We want our patients to feel safe no matter how they choose to be seen; in a traditional office setting or via Telemedicine.

Here’s an Overview of our Process for Office Visits

• Patients will be pre-screened at check-in for COVID-19 related symptoms

• Those who have COVID-19 related symptoms will be asked to register in their vehicle

  and will be brought directly into an exam room when the provider is ready to see them

• Those who do not have COVID-19 related symptoms:

   •May choose to wait in their car if they prefer to OR

   •They may remain in the lobby while following safe distancing procedures

We’re Taking Additional Steps to Ensure your Safety

• Hand sanitizer is readily available throughout the lobby and exam rooms

• Routine cleaning of the lobby, counters, restrooms, and door handles

• Lobby magazines, books, and children’s toys have been removed as these items are

  difficult to disinfect

•Exam rooms are sanitized after every patient

•Limit of 1 accompanying person per patient

•All employees’ temperatures are checked at the beginning and end of every shift

•Staff are wearing appropriate PPE, which may include masks, gloves, and sometimes goggles and suits, to reduce risk of exposure so we may stay healthy to care for our communities 

In addition to our precautionary methods, we continue to offer same-day COVID-19 testing. Click here to find out how to schedule an appointment at one of our locations or via Telemedicine.

STEP 2: Two COVID-19 Coronavirus Testing Options

Option A — If you are experiencing symptoms, you will be screened for COVID-19 using an FDA-approved lab test. 

Option B — If you are not currently experiencing symptoms, you will be screened using the FDA-approved antibody lab test. Results will show past infection of COVID-19 or current infection, even if no symptoms are being experienced. 

Following your Telemedicine or In-Office visit, you will be directed to either our Crystal River or Silver Springs location for FDA-approved COVID-19 lab test or FDA-approved COVID-19 antibody test.

Additional Testing Information

– Lab tests results will be available in approximately 3 business days from receipt of your sample.

– Hours for COVID-19 testing at our Crystal River and Silver Springs locations: Monday to Friday, 9 am to 4 pm.

– Once we receive your COVID-19 test results from the lab, one of our representatives will call you to inform you of your status.

Stay Germ-Free!

As the old adage goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure when it comes to COVID-19. Remember to remain vigilant when taking steps to prevent exposure to the Coronavirus by thorough handwashing, social distancing, wearing a face covering and eye protection.

Remember, it’s still possible to spread the virus if you’re asymptomatic (not showing symptoms). Stay safe, and please feel free to give us a call with any questions or concerns.

The post Same-Day COVID-19 Testing Appointments Now Available! appeared first on Quick Med Care.

Our first step is a screening process via telemedicine to determine if your symptoms require further drive-thru testing.

With a telemedicine appointment, you see one of our providers via a digital device, like your phone, tablet or computer, from the safety and comfort of home. Sign up for an appointment online by clicking here, and selecting “Telemedicine Consultation for Coronavirus Screening.”

Due to the limited number of testing kits available, most kits are being reserved for patients who are admitted to hospitals. We are using telemedicine to prescreen patients for symptoms so that these tests are available for those of us who become seriously ill with the virus or the provider diagnoses as possibly having been infected and in danger, due to other factors of getting seriously ill. 

Once a provider confirms that the symptoms you are experiencing are due to the coronavirus (based on the CDC guidelines), you will be directed to one of our drive-thru testing sites where you will be tested.

Remember, be safe and stay home when possible so that we can work together to #FlattenTheCurve. If you need to leave your house, please take preventative measures, like wearing a mask. Read more about preventing the spread of the coronavirus by clicking here.
