Tailored FAQs for Common Illnesses & Infections

While we encourage scheduling an appointment to guarantee a specific time, we understand that illnesses arise unexpectedly. Please contact your nearest Nova Patient Care location to inquire about walk-in availability for common illnesses and infections.

Please bring your insurance card, a list of your current medications (including dosages), and a clear description of your symptoms to help us provide the most efficient care.

 Don't worry! Our experienced providers are skilled at diagnosing a wide range of conditions based on your symptoms, a thorough physical exam, and, if necessary, appropriate testing.

Yes, we treat both adults and children for many common illnesses and infections. Please check with your preferred location to confirm pediatric services.

Antibiotics are effective only against bacterial infections, not viruses. Our providers will conduct a thorough evaluation and determine if antibiotics are the appropriate treatment based on your specific diagnosis. Unnecessary antibiotic use can lead to antibiotic resistance.

Practicing good hygiene, such as frequent and thorough handwashing with soap and water, covering your coughs and sneezes, and avoiding close contact with sick individuals, can significantly reduce your risk of contracting many illnesses and infections.
