Took my elderly mother, who is also a cancer patient there looking for a primary care doctor. I have 30 years of experience under my belt of dealing with medical professionals, and I don't give 5 stars easily. The place was immaculate, and we were greeted with smiles when we walked through the door.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Z-2-H Family Med & Urgent Care
What is considered an acute cough?
An acute cough is a cough lasting fewer than three weeks. It may be caused by viral infections, allergies, airway irritation, or early respiratory illness.
When should I seek an Acute Cough evaluation?
You should schedule an evaluation when a cough is accompanied by fever, shortness of breath, chest tightness, wheezing, or exposure to illness — or if symptoms are worsening instead of improving.
Is my cough contagious?
Some causes of acute cough, such as viral infections, may be contagious. Your provider will help determine whether isolation or testing is necessary.
Can you evaluate breathing issues during the visit?
Yes. Providers assess lung sounds, oxygen levels, and breathing patterns to identify signs of bronchitis, asthma flare-ups, or other concerns.
Can I receive testing for flu, COVID-19, or other infections?
Yes — testing may be recommended based on symptoms and exposure history. Providers will advise which tests are appropriate for you.
Is treatment available during the visit?
Most patients can receive medications such as inhalers, cough suppressants, anti-inflammatories, or allergy treatments depending on their evaluation findings.
Do you evaluate cough in children?
Yes. Our providers assess cough symptoms in children, including fever, croup-like cough, wheezing, or other respiratory signs.
How fast can in-home mobile urgent care arrive?
Arrival times vary by location and demand, but most visits occur the same day. Mobile care allows you to avoid traveling while still receiving timely medical attention.
Are telehealth consultations available for acute cough?
Virtual visits can help determine whether an in-person exam is necessary and provide initial guidance. Providers will advise if remote evaluation is sufficient or if hands-on assessment is required.
Is my visit private and HIPAA compliant?
Yes. Whether in-home, virtual, or in-clinic, all evaluations follow full HIPAA privacy rules to protect your personal health information.
How much does an Acute Cough evaluation cost?
Costs vary depending on insurance coverage and visit type. We accept most major insurance plans and can provide price estimates before your appointment.
Will I need follow-up?
Many coughs improve with treatment, but follow-up may be recommended if symptoms worsen, breathing becomes difficult, or new symptoms appear.
Can an acute cough turn into pneumonia?
Some infections can progress to pneumonia. Providers help identify early warning signs and determine whether further testing or imaging may be needed.
