Appointment preparation
Before booking sick visits
Patients can make the appointment request easier by writing down the main reason for the visit, current medications, allergies, pharmacy, insurance plan, recent records, and any questions that should be reviewed. If the visit is connected to recent urgent care, hospital care, specialist care, labs, imaging, or a medication change, bring those details when available.
Patients coming from Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, Dewey-Humboldt, or other nearby Yavapai County communities should also confirm directions, office hours, insurance details, and any forms before travel when timing matters.

Common questions
Common Questions About Sick Visits
Can I book a same-day sick visit in Prescott?
Same-day sick visit availability at First Choice Medical Center in Prescott, AZ can change. Patients should call the clinic or use the medical appointment link to check current scheduling options. If symptoms are severe, worsening quickly, or may be an emergency, do not wait for a routine appointment or online response.
What symptoms are appropriate for a sick visit?
Sick visits are for non-emergency symptoms or simple concerns that need medical evaluation. Examples may include illness symptoms, minor concerns, medication questions, or follow-up needs. First Choice Medical Center can explain whether an in-person visit, telemedicine, or another care setting is more appropriate.
Can a sick visit be virtual?
Some sick visits at First Choice Medical Center may be appropriate for telemedicine when the concern is non-emergency and does not require an in-person exam. Symptoms that require testing, a physical exam, vital signs, or urgent evaluation may need an office visit or another care setting.
When should I call 911 instead?
For emergency symptoms, call 911. Emergency symptoms may include chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe breathing trouble, major injury, severe allergic reaction, confusion, fainting, or any severe or rapidly worsening condition. Do not use routine scheduling or contact forms for possible emergencies.
