Why is making house calls an important area of medical practice?
Many people are willing and able to travel to their doctors’ offices for routine care and sick visits when necessary. However, for some, getting to the doctor’s office can be more challenging.
For example, if you have limited mobility, transportation issues, anxiety, or little family support, traveling to Dr. Levatino is more difficult, sometimes causing you to postpone necessary care, leading to more severe health complications down the line.
What services can’t be provided during house calls?
Many facets of routine care, including diagnostics and treatment, can be performed during house calls. Regardless of whether you need vaccinations, rapid testing for strep or other infections, a physical exam, weight loss services, or treatment for a hormone condition, house calls can address those and many other health needs.
If you require diagnostic work that can’t be accomplished during a house call, Dr. Levatino can find a solution that fits your needs. If you’re unsure whether a house call is appropriate, simply call the office and speak with a team member.
The term house call can be misleading because Dr. Levatino can conduct off-site visits at your workplace or any other location within her service area.
