Hello, my name is Leonor Cardoso. I'm a nurse practitioner.
Who will see me here?
Most visits at a retail clinic are with a nurse practitioner or a physician assistant. Both are licensed to examine, diagnose and treat common health problems.
The clinician asks about symptoms and health history, checks vital signs and does an exam. Quick tests, such as for strep or flu, are often done at the visit. The clinician can send a prescription to a pharmacy when one is needed. For problems beyond what the clinic treats, the clinician may refer you elsewhere.
Call the office if you have questions about your visit or your care. This is general information, not personal instructions. The clinician who sees you can explain what applies to you.
Thanks for watching.
