Acute Care

When you are sick and not feeling well, urgency matters. Do not wait too long. Seek timely medical attention for symptoms and acute issues..

Lowered immunity, anemia, hepatitis C and other conditions can make you sicker than you realize, to tragic consequences.

The Three Rivers AMA providers offer acute care treatments for chronic conditions like asthma, which causes shortness of breath, or allergies that cause respiratory issues that require urgent medical attention.

What is acute care?

Acute care also involves medical services to diagnose and treat acute illnesses like colds and flu and minor injuries. These conditions typically require only short-term care to help you achieve a full recovery.

Dr. Patel and Three Rivers Area Medical Associates provide comprehensive acute care services for adults. The Three Rivers AMA providers offer a variety of onsite testing services, including lab blood draws, to confirm your diagnosis. They customize a care plan to help you feel better and prevent the condition from worsening.
