Acute Care

Complete Acute care.

WHAT IS ACUTE CARE EXACTLY?

Policy prevents any of our staff from diagnosis and/or treatment of patients over the telephone. Walk-In services are unavailable at Beach Family Medical & Wellness Center. It is important to call for an appointment and come into the office at your appointed time, enabling us to oversee the care that you deserve. 

To accommodate urgent medical conditions, we have flexibility in scheduling treatment for non-life-threatening illness and minor injury, allowing us to see patients in a timely manner - usually within the same day.

Experiencing an emergency?


When Beach Family Medical is closed, depending on the severity of the symptoms or injury, you should seek immediate attention at an urgent care clinic or hospital emergency room.

If you or your loved one are experiencing a life-threatening medical emergency, call 911 and go to an emergency room.
