House calls are able to provide more discreet and comfortable treatment from the privacy of their own homes. It is understandable that some patients might be immobile or unwilling to go outside due to fears and anxieties about going out in public. Providence Clinic teams up with professionals to bring doctors to patients’ homes so that despite their circumstances, they are still able to receive the correct and adequate medical treatment. On house calls, doctors are able to provide basic care such as prescribing medication, diagnosing acute ailments such as fevers and providing reassurance on medical issues that may be causing worry.
House call doctors are able to provide treatment in a matter of hours, without patients having to travel to a clinic or hospital. This saves the time waiting in line as well as the cost and time spent on seeking medical attention. House call doctors are also able to fit into busy schedules as they can provide treatment at most times, allowing busy professionals to take care of their health. House calls are also suitable for death certification, when a loved one passes away at home.
