In-home visit
01 — What happens during a house call?
A house call is much the same as an in-person visit, except Laura sees you in your home. She arrives at a scheduled appointment time and discusses the reason for your visit. She asks about your symptoms, reviews your medical history, and performs a physical exam. If you need any treatment, Laura will attend to it. She may order labs or diagnostic images. Laura can also prescribe any medications that you might need and renew prescription refills. You should have a trusted relative, friend, or caregiver with you during Laura’s visit especially if you require assistance with mobility or have a disability.
