I had travel to Chicago 3 days before my daughter would be induced for the birth of her baby. Her family was sick with the flu when I arrived. They had been put on a prescription as the baby was being induced in 2 days. The hospital rule was I needed a nasal swab.. the results immediately and a prescription filled if I tested positive ALL BEFORE I could be with my daughter and new baby in the hospital.This was a very STRESSFUL time. I do not live in Chicago. I had to find a clinic that would.. test with a the nasal swab give me the results immediately and a clinic that could give me a prescription. I started dialing at 800 amCVS clinics.. Walgreen Clinics and walk-in clinics.They were Always answered by an AUTOMATED SYSTEM that WILL NOT give you a real person OR the clinics ONLY option is for YOU to schedule an online appointment WITHOUT being able to ask about the 3 things I needed.I FINALLY found Physicians Immediate Care.A PERSON answered I COULD DO all three things I needed I walked in waited 20 mins got my nasal swab the physician returned with the results in 20 mins My test was negativeIts 1100a.m. I now can go be with my daughter in the hospital.Thank you Physicians Immediate CareIt was a healthy Baby Boy Rhonda R

I had severe back pain and chose this location on a recommendation. I arrived mid-morning without an appointment and was seen within a few minutes. The woman at the front offered me water and a snack while I was waiting which was kind and much appreciated. The staff all showed patience and care during my visit and helped me with the pain. Would revisit for sure.

Patrick Staggs medical expertise and dedication to his patients care saved me from ending up paralyzed from the waist down. I came into the clinic thinking my sciatica was progressing in a harsh way but he quickly identified my symptoms as a rare condition that if left untreated for even 24 hours could result in complete paralysis from the waist down. He drafted a note for the ER team explaining his prognosis and directed me to go to an emergency room immediately to get an MRI to confirm the cauda equina syndrome I was experiencing. I could never recommend any PA higher than this man and I could never thank him enough.

This is my 2nd time visiting this location and I have always been pleased. Dr.Rachel Dress is amazing as was Dominique N. The young lady who triaged me. Convenient location and friendly front desk staff. Due to unbearable circumstances I had cancelled an evening appointment and decided to take my chances and walk in understanding there could be a wait. Thank you staff for your accommodations kindness and attentiveness. Amazing job

I waited over 30 minutes to be seen after making an appointment the day before.The staff were either not wearing masks or wearing them under their noses despite large signs everywhere about the companys commitment to infection control that say masks required It made me wonder if the claims on those signs about air quality and cleanliness were also a lie. I wouldnt recommend this location to anyone who is immunocompromised in any way.The facility did not even have basic diagnostic equipment could not perform an EKG or blood test and I was told I should go to the ER where they...performed and EKG and blood test. Except for hundreds of dollars and hours more than it would have been at an urgent care.There was loud music playing somewhere in the treatment area the whole time I was there - not great for patients dealing with headaches one of my symptoms

I am disappointed with my recent experience at Physicians Immediate Care. Despite being told the wait time would be approximately 20-30 minutes I ended up waiting for nearly 70 minutes before my turn. Even more frustrating was the fact that someone who arrived after me and checked in after me was seen ahead of me when it was my turn. This made me feel discriminated against and treated unfairly. It was a complete waste of my time and left me feeling extremely disappointed. I would advise others to seek care from a regular doctor instead as the wait times are comparable and there is nothing immediate about the service provided here.My only option Walk away and never return.

The treatment they gave me for my symptoms healed me in the stipulated time. The staff that cares for you are the best I have ever met from the front desk to the doctor who says goodbye to you.

Was skeptical at first but when youre coughing your brains out for 7 days or more and its a Saturday its a great resource to have - saw Patrick at the 6100 block of Broadway and Granville and am happy to report that I got a thorough treatment chest xray and a prompt prescription that took care of my issue. Friendly staff very helpful and follow through was great

Frequently Asked Questions
Your pediatrician might be able to administer screenings, but most general doctors are not trained to formally diagnose autism. They might refer you to a qualified diagnostic clinician which include:
Developmental Pediatricians
Child Psychologists
Child Psychiatrists
Pediatric Neurologists
Pediatric Neuropsychologists
Your experience might look different depending on the type of clinician you choose. Many families prefer working with developmental pediatricians. Others might work with a psychiatrist or another specialist to get a different perspective.
A formal ASD diagnosis, or a medical diagnosis, helps you get the support your family needs, especially within the context of accessing medically necessary therapies and services.
Insurance Coverage for Therapies: Medically necessary therapies for ASD are often covered by insurance including, but not limited to, speech therapy, ABA therapy, and occupational therapy.
Financial Support: A diagnosis is required when applying for social security or disability benefits.
Plan for Care: A diagnosis helps identify your child’s support needs. For example, your child might need to develop social communication and self-regulation skills.
Future Research: The more data we gather through evaluations, the more we can improve services for autistic children and adults.
The occupational therapy process includes an OT evaluation before care starts. Here are the four steps your family can expect when starting occupational therapy:
Complete OT evaluation. An occupational therapist first identifies your child’s strengths and needs through a thorough OT evaluation, also known as an OT assessment or screening. You’ll answer questions about your child’s skills, and your child will most likely demonstrate their skills via hands-on activities with the therapist. Evaluations can last 30 minutes to a few hours.
Approve OT plan. The therapist develops a care plan with individualized goals and customized interventions based on your child’s needs. You can also share any specific goals or concerns before approving the OT plan.
Start therapy sessions. The therapist works directly with your child and your family, using various strategies and exercises to systematically improve areas of limitations and to build upon a child’s strengths. Some exercises your child might participate in are animal walks, obstacle courses, and therapy swing activities. Your family may learn strategies for supporting your child’s individualized needs at home, such as ways of supporting emotional regulation and sensory processing. The therapist may also recommend tools and techniques to use at home, in the community, or in the classroom to help your child succeed.
Monitor your child’s progress. Parents and caregivers can expect ongoing progress monitoring and communication to ensure the child is achieving their short and long-term goals.
Occupational therapy can also be provided virtually via telemedicine. Virtual therapy is a great option for families in rural areas who may not have access to in-person services, or for families who prefer to have therapy in their child’s home.
Virtual OT allows the opportunity for increased caregiver participation and understanding of a child’s strengths, areas of improvement, and generalization of skills in the child’s home environment. Virtual therapy also provides increased opportunities for caregiver and family education to support the child and the family based on each family’s needs.
Once you find a quality physical therapist you want to work with, here are a few things you need to know:
There will be an evaluation. First, you can expect an assessment to identify your child’s areas of strength and needs. A physical therapy evaluation usually lasts 30 minutes.
You’ll review and approve the care plan. The physical therapist will create a care plan, also known as a plan of care (POC), outlining the goals and strategies. They will review this with you and your care team before moving forward with therapy sessions.
Physical therapy sessions will be fun. PT with children is designed to be enjoyable. The therapist will use strategies and exercises based on your child’s needs. Exercises might involve playing on large stability balls, obstacle courses, movement equipment, stretches, and other hands-on activities.
Expect home exercises. Physical therapists commonly assign exercises to work on at home. Doing these exercises with your child outside therapy sessions can improve your child’s overall progress.
Yes! Most providers offer physical therapy in their offices or a clinical setting, but many are offering at-home options. Virtual options have become more popular in recent years. You might facilitate care with the guidance of the physical therapist.
Pediatric physical therapy is considered safe and should not hurt. Autistic children spend their time in PT moving and exploring their environment. If you are concerned about your child experiencing pain during certain exercises, especially if they may struggle to communicate and advocate for modifications, speak with their physical therapist about your concerns.
