Why Same-Day Sick Visits Are Important for Chronic Illness Patients

At Bridgewater Primary Care & Cardiology, LLC in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts, we’re pleased to offer same-day sick visits to new and returning patients alike. We’re also specialists in chronic disease management, under the supervision of cardiologist and internist Dr. John Terzian. 

What do chronic illnesses and same-day sick visits have in common? Plenty, if you’re managing a chronic condition that includes complications, flare-ups, or progressive symptoms.   

Living with chronic illness

Chronic illnesses like arthritis, diabetes, and high blood pressure affect about 60% of the adult population in the country. When you’re newly diagnosed with such a condition, there’s a steep learning curve attached to managing your condition and lifestyle. 

As you become accustomed to symptoms of the illness as well as potential side effects of medications, you’re moving toward a new normal that may be substantially different from previous patterns. 

Choosing a primary care practice that also provides same-day sick visits can be a smart move, particularly through the transitional period around the start of treatment for your chronic illness. 

Situations and events will pop up while you’re still learning what you need to know about your condition. Same-day sick visits can bring great peace of mind. 

Fast response

Chronic illnesses can be degenerative and progressive. Things can change, sometimes quickly, and it can be tricky adapting on a regular basis. 

Same-day sick visits with us allow you to roll with the punches with a close-at-hand chronic illness management partner. We can deal with changes as they arrive, not on a next-month appointment basis.
