What is In-Office Care?
Patients who are more comfortable physically talking with a healthcare provider can visit MD Now for consultations, examinations, and treatments.
Unlike virtual or telemedicine services, in-office care involves direct, physical interaction between the patient and healthcare provider. Patients receive more comprehensive assessments, immediate access to diagnostic tools like blood tests and imaging, and personal, hands-on care.
Additionally, in-office visits accurately diagnose conditions that require a physical exam and for procedures that cannot be performed remotely. This approach provides patients with personalized, thorough care tailored to their specific needs and requirements.
Benefits of In-Office Care
In-office care offers numerous advantages that contribute to the overall quality of patient healthcare. Below are some key benefits of choosing in-office care.
- Comprehensive Assessment: In-office care allows healthcare providers to conduct thorough physical examinations, which better diagnose and treat medical conditions.
- Immediate Access to Diagnostics: Patients can receive on-the-spot diagnostic tests, such as blood work and imaging, leading to faster diagnosis and treatment.
- Personal Interaction: Face-to-face communication fosters stronger doctor-patient relationships, enhancing trust and providing more personalized care.
- Enhanced Comfort and Confidence: In-person visits provide patients with reassurance and the security of direct medical attention, especially for complex or sensitive issues.

Services Offered Through In-Office Care
Whether addressing routine health concerns or managing chronic conditions, in-office visits provide direct access to a variety of medical services, all delivered with personalized attention.
- General Health Consultations: These visits allow patients to discuss their overall health with a healthcare provider, covering topics such as wellness, preventive care, and managing common ailments.
- Chronic Disease Management: Patients with chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or asthma can receive ongoing care and monitoring through regular in-office appointments, which help to keep their conditions under control.
- Preventive Care: This includes routine screenings, vaccinations, and check-ups aimed at detecting potential health issues early and maintaining overall wellness.
- Specialist Referrals: During an in-office visit, if specialized care is needed, the provider can refer the patient to an appropriate specialist for further evaluation and treatment.
- Urgent Care Services: In-office urgent care addresses non-emergency medical needs that require prompt attention, such as minor injuries or sudden illnesses, without the long wait times often associated with emergency rooms.
What to Expect During Your Visit
During their in-office care visit, patients receive thorough clinical evaluation and treatment. They must complete the necessary administrative procedures, including updating their medical history and any relevant documentation.
Patients will consult with our healthcare provider, Dr. David Austin, who will discuss their symptoms, medical history, and any concerns. A comprehensive physical examination will follow, focusing on the areas of concern. Depending on the findings, he may order diagnostic tests such as blood work, imaging, or other relevant procedures, which can often be completed during the same visit.
Dr. Austin will then review the results, offering a detailed explanation of the findings and discussing the appropriate treatment options. This may include prescribing medications, recommending lifestyle changes, or planning further tests or follow-up appointments. If specialist care is indicated, we will provide a referral.
