A home visit is a practical solution that every patient can use. It is especially effective for chronically ill, overworked people or children who are afraid to see a doctor. A doctor of any specialty can come to your home if a special situation requires it. Find out why you should use home visits.
Emergency home visit
A home visit by an internist will be useful in an emergency, when you cannot go to the clinic because your health condition does not allow you to do so. Especially in the event of a sudden onset of symptoms such as: fever, cough, sore throat or general weakness of the body. Thanks to a home visit, we will not be exposed to viruses and bacteria that could contribute to the deterioration of health.
It should be remembered that in the event of a sudden fainting, traffic accident or attacks of breathlessness, an ambulance should be called.
To make an appointment for an internist at home, all you need to do is call the facility of your choice. After making the reservation, the doctor will come to the patient on the appointed date. This solution works especially in the era of coronavirus, when we are afraid to go to the clinic, but the doctor’s intervention is indispensable.
Home visit for the elderly
Older people, who often have chronic diseases, also need access to healthcare with a home visit option. This aspect mainly concerns seniors who have mobility problems, as well as those weakened by the disease. Thanks to a GP visit, they will be able to discuss the progress of treatment and get a prescription for the next dose of drugs.
Before the visit, it is worth writing down all the questions that we would like to ask the doctor on a piece of paper. Thanks to this, we will be sure that we have not forgotten anything.

Home visit for busy people
We don’t always have time to make an appointment with the doctor at the clinic. Especially if the chosen date is distant and the noted symptoms require immediate help (flu or a cold). In addition, in the era of coronavirus, when some people work remotely and need to look after children, it is difficult to find time to see a doctor. For this reason, a pediatrician’s home visit turns out to be the best solution, thanks to which we will save time.
During the consultation at home, we will be able to talk to the doctor in peace and find out if there is a need for additional tests – the pediatrician can issue a referral, which we will carry out at the most convenient time.

Home visit without stress
Children often get stressed before visiting the doctor in the clinic, so a home visit by the pediatrician will be a better solution. They feel safer at home, so they are more likely to talk to a doctor. It is easier for them to describe symptoms that a doctor can diagnose as flu, cold or food allergy. Most often, the main indications for a home visit in the youngest patients are the following symptoms:
- Fever;
- Sore throat;
- Muscle aches;
- Rash;
- Nausea;
- Diarrhea.
It is also easier for parents to invite a pediatrician home than to prepare for a visit to a clinic or hospital.
