Never Go to an Urgent Care Again

Getting sick or injured is difficult by itself, but going to the doctor in those situations makes it even worse. This often means going to an urgent care, which although may be less of an inconvenience than the emergency room, is still a huge time commitment and often a miserable experience.


Urgent care visits usually require an appointment, lots of digital or paper forms for registration, a co-pay, 30-45 minutes (or more) sitting in an uncomfortable waiting room, and then seeing a rushed provider who doesn’t know you. If you’ve got your kids with you or if they’re the ones being treated, the experience is doubly painful.


In the end, you might get an antibiotic or an x-ray, but you’re ultimately told to figure the rest out on your own. And of course, a few weeks later you’ll get a bill for a couple hundred dollars.


Partner Medical’s approach to acute and urgent care is different. Our members have anytime access directly to their provider (they get their provider’s actual cell number) and get care right from their home - digitally or with a home visit.


This saves hours of time and hassle, eliminating the commute to the clinic, sitting in the waiting room, registration forms, paying co-pays, and delayed and overpriced bills.


On top of it all, our members always see their provider. Someone they know and trust, who is committed to their overall health, not just a one -off visit.


For our members, this means that their sick visit isn’t 10 hurried minutes with their provider and a trip to the pharmacy. Sick visits are a full evaluation of their problem, a treatment plan that’s tailored to their specific needs and preferences, and prescriptions delivered to their home.


Finally, when members are sick, their team at Partner Medical is committed to making sure they get back to their healthy self - because their team knows them and actually cares. This means that sick visits always come with follow up text messages or phone calls to re-evaluate symptoms, ensure the treatment plan is working, and coordinate any additional care.


Acute and urgent care at Partner Medical gives our members peace of mind that their illnesses will always be taken care of and makes feeling sick the only hard part of being sick.


Acute Care at Partner Medical

You and your family deserve high quality, personalized, and convenient care for all your health care needs and from someone you know and trust. Acute or urgent healthcare problems especially need this as these issues are most disruptive to your schedule and typically come with the least personalized care and unknown quality.


At Partner Medical, we are committed to serving our members for all their acute care needs, and doing that in a way that saves them time and effort and guarantees the best possible quality.


Both Dr Meador and Chris Moag have deep experience in emergency medicine, treating acute issues for all severities for and for all ages. That means members get the highest quality care for acute illnesses and get it in an incredibly convenient way that’s personalized to their preferences.


A True Story from Partner Medical…

In November 2024, a male patient of ours reached out at 2am on a Tuesday with symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea while he was traveling in Colorado for work. Chris Moag, PA-C, responded at 5am, asking the patient about his symptoms, possible sources of infection, and about red flags that might need a visit to the ER.



After determining the patient’s symptoms were most likely a viral infection, a stomach bug, Chris ordered a prescription to the pharmacy, recommended fluids and rest, and made a plan for follow ups to make sure the patient started feeling better.


Our patient got follow up texts from Chris three times throughout the day, again the following day, and a final time a week later. Thankfully, the patient continued to improve and was back to his regular self after 24 hours.
