How do I get seen for an acute problem?

Call the practice at 770-630-6281 or submit a request through the contact form and mention that your concern is acute. The team will let you know the most current availability and whether your concern is better suited for an in-person visit or a telehealth visit.

When should this be an emergency instead?

Routine primary care is for routine illness. Severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe injuries, heavy bleeding, loss of consciousness, or any symptom you believe may be life-threatening requires emergency care. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Do not wait for a clinic appointment for these symptoms.

In an emergency, call 911.

TruHealth Primary Care is not an emergency service. For vision-threatening, life-threatening, or severe situations, go to the nearest emergency department.

How does acute care connect to the rest of your health?

Acute visits are easier when a provider already knows your history. Being an established primary-care patient at TruHealth means your provider can interpret your symptoms in context, which often leads to better decisions and fewer unnecessary treatments.

When should I reach out?

When symptoms are new, severe, lingering, or getting worse, reach out for an evaluation. It is always reasonable to ask for guidance if you are unsure whether you need to be seen.
