Acute Care & Sick Visits

Our Acute Care Telemedicine Visits provide convenient virtual care for minor illnesses, simple medical concerns, pre- travel medication consultations, and more. At Freedom Metabolic Wellness, we blend over 20 years of acute-care medical experience with a thoughtfully holistic, evidence-based approach that supports both symptom relief and your body’s natural healing process.

While we strive to safely manage concerns through telemedicine whenever possible, some conditions may require in-person evaluation or higher-level care. If this occurs, we will guide you toward the safest next step.

NOTE: Patients must be 4 years or older and able to cooperate with the virtual exam. Medications will only be prescribed if clinically indicated, and are not guaranteed. If higher level of care in an in-person setting is indicated, we will help guide you to the next step, however since provider time and medical decision-making occur during all visits, refunds are not available if referral to in-person care is necessary.
