Medical house calls bring clinical evaluation to you — wherever you are in New York City. SickDay has been providing in-home urgent care style visits since 2007, serving all five boroughs with extended operating hours and a flat-fee model designed for convenience.
Quick answer
A licensed medical clinician can evaluate you at your home, office, or hotel in NYC during extended hours. No waiting room. No transit when you are already unwell. Medical house calls are designed to bring the same quality of evaluation you would receive in a clinic directly to your location.
Why house calls are especially useful in NYC
New York’s transit system and crowded urgent care waiting rooms can make getting care harder when you are sick — not easier. House calls eliminate that friction. They also reduce the risk of exposing others on the subway or in a waiting room when you may be contagious. For families, seniors, travelers, and anyone with mobility challenges, in-home evaluation is often simply the better option.
What’s included in a SickDay house call
Each visit includes a clinical evaluation by a licensed medical clinician, a review of your symptoms and medical history, a focused physical exam, testing when clinically appropriate (flu, RSV, COVID, blood work), and a clear treatment plan with next-step recommendations. After the visit you will receive an emailed receipt suitable for PPO insurance reimbursement submission.

SickDay serves all five boroughs — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island. Operating hours are 8am–9pm, 7 days a week. The stated response time is at your location in 90 minutes or less during operating hours, though availability may vary.
