When we experience cooler temperatures in the evening and warmer day time temperatures, this is the perfect set up for developing post-nasal drip. Unchecked it can lead to hoarseness and even dry cough.

If you are susceptible to this, you might want to consider using a daily over the counter nasal steroid like Flonase. Along with an oral antihistamine, this can help to minimize those symptoms!

Weight loss can be a challenging and often frustrating journey for many. Sometimes getting results can be a slow process. At times large efforts can seem like you are only taking baby steps. However there are ways to feel like you are taking big steps… please stay tuned

With higher temperatures in the summer, or even if traveling to a hot spot in the summer, please be careful.

Watch out for signs of heat exhaustion versus heat stroke.

For those with chronic heart or lung conditions: avoid strenuous out door work.
For chronic lung patients: make sure to adhere to your asthma/COPD medication regimen and keep your rescue inhaler nearby.

Seasonal allergies

Every year we are told that this will be the worst season ever…

This year I am finding this to actually be true (especially as an allergy sufferer myself).

Sneezing, watery and itchy eyes, post nasal drip and sometimes wheezing/cough.

Fortunately there are great OTC options!

For allergies, nasal steroid sprays such as Flonase (Fluticasone) can work very well. Don’t expect results in 1-2 days.

Non-sedating antihistamines such as Zyrtec (Cetirizine), Allegra (Fexofenaine) or Claritin (Loratadine) can work well once daily.

For itchy eyes, Pataday over the counter eye drops can help!

If you have a fever with your symptoms, it’s likely a viral (or bacterial infection). Make sure to call your primary care physician (P*P) if that’s the case.

Direct primary care practices like ours allow you to reach your physician for technology visits - email, text, phone or telemedicine video calls.

Develop a rash on vacation? Text it to your doc. Save the urgent care visit while you are relaxing at home, the beach, or anywhere for that matter

That’s the Direct Care Difference

Our Story

My name is Dr. Sam Urick and I am a dual board certified Internist. I am opening a Direct Primary Care medical practice in Center Township June 2018. I want to be the the type of doctor that your parents and grandparents were used to - one that could offer unhurried office visits and get to know their patients. Direct Primary Care is health care the way it was meant to be - affordable care without interference from insurance companies dictating how care should be delivered. I don’t work for the insurance companies anymore. I work for my patients. DISCLAIMER: My posts do not constitute medical advice - always seek care from a physician or health care practitioner .
