Health Express Services offers limited individual consultations at no charge.
Our medical providers are dedicated to identifying and providing treatment
recommendations.
Our initial consultation is designed to provide adequate medical information which allows you to make better decisions on appropriate medical care choices and whether there is a necessity for immediate care, safety to defer or delay care until you are able to see you primary provider, or need a referral for more specialized services.
We look after your health. Occasionally, a patient shows symptoms that are not within Health Express treatment guidelines. In that case, our Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants are qualified to screen and refer patients to the appropriate health care provider at no charge to you.
Our Providers are licensed and nationally certified Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants and collaborate directly with a board certified Internist and acting operational medical consultant.
Nurse practitioners and physician assistants are educated and certified to diagnose, prescribe medication when necessary, and refer patients with more complex conditions to their physician or the emergency room.
