SickDay evaluates a wide range of urgent medical concerns at your home, office, or hotel across all five boroughs of New York City. Here is what a licensed medical clinician can assess during an in-home visit.
Quick answer
SickDay licensed medical clinicians can evaluate many of the same concerns you would bring to an urgent care clinic — including respiratory issues, GI illness, ENT problems, and skin conditions — without you having to leave where you are.
Respiratory concerns
Flu-like illness, cough, bronchitis, asthma exacerbation, and early-stage pneumonia symptoms are all appropriate for in-home evaluation. Rapid flu, RSV, and COVID testing may be available during the visit when clinically appropriate.
GI concerns
Abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation can all be evaluated at home. Dehydration risk assessment and management are a common part of in-home GI visits. Early evaluation helps prevent worsening.
ENT and eye concerns
Sore throat, ear pain, sinus infection, nasal congestion, and conjunctivitis (pink eye) are among the most common ENT and eye issues evaluated during house calls. These are frequent reasons New Yorkers choose in-home care over a clinic visit.
Skin and dermatology
Burns, rashes, eczema, poison ivy, shingles, and other skin concerns can be evaluated at home. A licensed medical clinician can examine the area and recommend appropriate treatment without requiring a dermatology appointment.
Testing services
Rapid testing for flu, RSV, and COVID may be available during house calls per SickDay’s service description. Blood work is also available when clinically appropriate. Testing results help inform faster, more accurate treatment plans.
Preventive and routine visits
SickDay’s service menu includes annual physicals, routine check-ups, school and sports physicals, employment physicals, and pre-operative clearance. Confirm specific preventive services at booking, as availability may vary.
What’s out of scope
In-home visits are not a substitute for emergency care. Call 911 for trouble breathing, chest pain, severe allergic reaction, suspected stroke, major trauma, or any symptom that feels immediately life-threatening. Request a house call or call (212) 742-5329 for non-emergency urgent care.
