Acute Care - Not Ongoing Primary Care

Same-Day Sick & Urgent Care at Andelana MD is intended for episodic and acute medical care. This service does not establish ongoing primary-care continuity and is not intended to replace an established primary care physician for routine chronic-disease management, annual preventive examinations, or continuous management of complex medical conditions.

 

Patients should continue routine and longitudinal care with their established primary care physician when applicable.
