Sick Visit Medical Care
Thoughtful Care for Acute Illness — Without the Rush
Not every illness needs a specialist.
But every illness deserves to be taken seriously.
At James Clinic, sick visits are designed for acute symptoms of short duration, evaluated by experienced clinicians who take the time to think — not just prescribe.
What Sick Visits Are For
Sick visits are appropriate for symptoms present for 3–5 days or less, including:
- Upper respiratory symptoms
- Viral or mild bacterial illness
- Acute fatigue or malaise
- Short-term gastrointestinal symptoms
- Other new, uncomplicated concerns
These visits focus on what is happening right now and how to support recovery appropriately.
What’s Included
Each sick visit ($350) includes:
- Comprehensive medical evaluation
- Evidence-based assessment and diagnosis when appropriate
- Layered recommendations, including conventional and integrative support
- Any relevant same-day testing if clinically indicated
- Short-interval follow-up on results
- Brief check-in within a few days if needed
No rushing. No dismissal. No unnecessary escalation.

If vaccines are discussed, it is done only in the context of informed, respectful conversation, guided by patient preference and individual risk — never mandates or coercion.
