Same-Day Visits
Primary Care Practice, Family Medicine & Internists located in Sacramento, CA
If you’re sick, suffer a minor injury, or suffer a sudden flare-up of a chronic condition, you shouldn’t have to wait for hours at an emergency room where you’re treated by a stranger. Instead, schedule a same-day visit with one of the primary care providers at Apollo Physicians in Sacramento, California. They set aside time to take care of health problems needing prompt attention. Call the office as soon as you know you need a same-day visit or request a next-day visit online.
Apollo Physicians offers two types of same-day (and next-day) visits for children, teenagers, and adults: in-person and telemedicine. The one that’s best for you will depend on the reason for your visit and the urgency of your symptoms.
While in-person visits are often needed for the conditions that usually require same-day attention, you might prefer to schedule a telemedicine appointment if you or your child are too sick to leave home, a possibly contagious disease is involved, or you can’t find child care so you can visit the office.
The best way to schedule a same-day visit is to call, talk to a team member, and briefly let them know why you need urgent care. They can schedule an appointment as quickly as possible. Or they might be able to recommend self-care steps to avoid a trip to the doctor or schedule a next-day appointment.
The board-certified family and internal medicine specialists at Apollo Physicians treat many health problems during same-day visits, including:
Same-day appointments are available whenever you need relief from your symptoms or have a problem that can’t wait for medical attention.

They also take care of blood cultures, urinalysis, and other necessary lab work.
