Got a fever, body aches, or a cough? Might want to get checked for the flu 🤧! It's what's going around this week.

If you're feeling ill, it's important to see a doctor within two days so you can take an antiviral medication. If you're not sick, a flu shot is a great option to protect yourself for the next several months.

As always, same-day and next-day appointments are available for all patients!

What is it now? In school-age children and their families...it may be impetigo.

You may recognize its hallmark crusty rash. It's caused by bacteria like staph or strep, so impetigo usually doesn't resolve on its own without treatment. It can easily spread through your household if not addressed quickly.

If you suspect impetigo, see your doctor ASAP. We've got same-day and next-day appointments available if you need one!
