Urgent Care & Same-Day Sick Visits
Same-Day Care When You Feel Sick
When you're not well, waiting weeks for an appointment isn't an option. VPCM offers same-day visits for common illnesses and minor injuries — most handled by video, without leaving home.

Is a Same-Day Visit Right for You?
A same-day visit is a good fit when you have:
- A cold, flu, sore throat, or sinus symptoms
- A suspected UTI, rash, or minor skin infection
- Pink eye, seasonal allergies, or a mild fever
- A minor injury that doesn't need the emergency room
Not sure if it's urgent? Call us at (203) 940-2985 and we'll help you decide. If your symptoms need emergency care, we'll tell you to call 911.

What to Expect
Same-day care covers many common illnesses, but not everything can be treated remotely. If your symptoms need an in-person exam, imaging, or emergency care, Dr. Harding will tell you directly and help you get to the right place.
This service is for non-life-threatening concerns. Chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, or signs of a stroke are emergencies — call 911.
Cost & Coverage
What It Costs
Same-day visits are covered by most of the insurance plans we accept, and we verify your benefits before the visit.
Self-pay pricing is available and quoted up front — you'll know the cost before you're seen.

Same-Day Visit FAQ
How fast can I be seen?
We set aside same-day slots for urgent needs. Call early in the day for the best availability; most patients are seen within a few hours.
What if I need to be seen in person?
Some symptoms need a hands-on exam. If so, we'll schedule you at the Woodbridge clinic the same day when possible.
Do you see children?
No. Virtual Primary Care Medicine cares for adults 18 and older. For children and teens, please contact a pediatric provider.
When should I go to the ER instead?
For chest pain, trouble breathing, severe injury, or any life-threatening symptom, call 911 or go to the nearest ER. A same-day visit is for non-emergencies.
