The Right Kind of Care

Not all health problems call for a visit to the ER; in fact, many issues that bring people to emergency care can be resolved at a convenient care location or with your regular doctor. Select the right level of care for the symptoms and situation.

Office Visit with a Primary Care Provider

Your primary care physician or provider oversees your general health - your home base for health care. Dr. Andrew Poulos is accepting new patients. Call 217-347-0458 to make an appointment or schedule online.

Most problems can be taken care of quickly and at a lower cost by calling your provider for an office visit, including:

  • Cuts, scratches, minor bleeding
  • Cold, flu, cough
  • Fever
  • Minor burns
  • Bloody nose
  • Ear infection
  • Non-serious allergic reaction
  • Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
  • Chronic pain
