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 are gallstones?
Gallstones are hardened deposits that form inside the gallbladder. They can block bile ducts, causing pain, inflammation, and digestive symptoms.
What symptoms indicate gallstones?
Symptoms include sharp right upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, bloating, indigestion, pain after fatty meals, or pain radiating to the back or shoulder.
When should I seek medical care?
Seek medical care if symptoms are persistent, severe, or accompanied by fever, jaundice, repeated vomiting, or worsening abdominal discomfort.
Can gallstones be evaluated at home?
Yes. Mobile clinicians can assess symptoms, review risk factors, and guide next steps including recommendations for imaging or urgent evaluation.
What tests are used to diagnose gallstones?
Ultrasound is the primary diagnostic tool. Blood tests may also be used to evaluate liver function, inflammation, or infection.
Do all gallstones require surgery?
No. Some gallstones are asymptomatic. Treatment depends on severity, frequency of attacks, and whether complications are present.
Can diet help prevent gallstone symptoms?
Yes. Lower-fat diets and weight management can help reduce symptom severity and frequency.
Can gallstones lead to complications?
Yes. If untreated, gallstones can cause cholecystitis, bile duct obstruction, pancreatitis, or infection, which may require urgent care.
Does insurance cover gallstone evaluations?
Most insurance plans cover evaluations, labs, imaging recommendations, and treatment visits.
Is telehealth useful for gallstone symptoms?
Yes. Telehealth can help determine whether symptoms require in-home care, clinic evaluation, or urgent imaging.
What should I avoid if I suspect gallstones?
Avoid large or high-fat meals, which often trigger or worsen gallstone attacks.
Can gallstones cause back or shoulder pain?
Yes. Pain can radiate to the right shoulder or back, especially during gallbladder attacks.
How quickly can symptoms worsen?
Symptoms may remain mild or escalate rapidly. Severe pain, fever, or jaundice require prompt evaluation.
