Same-day sick visits

What we treat at a cold & flu visit

Most colds and flu are viral and improve with rest and fluids. A visit tells you which illnesses are not, and what to do next.

Colds & congestion

Runny or stuffy nose, sneezing and mild cough, with advice on what helps and when to come back.

Flu

Fever, chills, body aches and fatigue that start suddenly, confirmed with a rapid flu test when it changes the plan.

COVID-19 symptoms

Testing with a same-day evaluation. Tell us when you arrive so we can seat you apart from other patients.

COVID-19 testing →

Sore throat & strep

A rapid strep test settles it. Antibiotics are used only for strep or another bacterial cause.

A cough that will not clear

Your provider listens to your lungs for signs of bronchitis or pneumonia and treats the cause.

Which is it?

Cold, flu or COVID-19?

Symptoms overlap, so a test is the only way to know for sure.

How it works

Your sick visit, step by step

Most visits are quick, and you leave with a clear plan.

  1. Walk in or call. Come in Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM, or call (281) 617-8671 to ask about the current wait.
  2. Check in. Bring your ID and insurance card. If you may have flu or COVID-19, tell the front desk so we can seat you apart.
  3. Exam and rapid tests. Your provider checks your temperature, oxygen level, throat, ears and lungs, and runs a rapid flu, COVID-19 or strep test when it helps.
  4. Your plan. You leave with treatment, symptom relief advice, return-to-work guidance and clear signs that mean you should come back.

Do not wait

Why see a provider early

For higher-risk adults, early treatment for flu or COVID-19 can lower the chance of severe illness, and it works best when started soon after symptoms begin. A same-day visit also catches problems that need more than rest, such as strep throat, pneumonia or dehydration.

Vaccination for flu is recommended for most adults every season. Flu shots are given at the clinic; ask at check-in.

Higher-risk adults should be seen early

  • Adults 65 and older
  • Pregnancy
  • Diabetes, heart, lung or kidney disease
  • Asthma or COPD
  • A weakened immune system
