Same-Day & Next-Day Sick Visits in Beverly Hills
Our Concierge Approach to Same-Day & Next-Day Sick Visits
When you are dealing with a new illness or unexpected medical concern, getting timely access to a physician can make a meaningful difference. Our concierge primary care model gives members a more direct path to medical evaluation, without relying on the limited availability and rushed appointments often associated with traditional primary care.
Dr. Omeed Warej brings comprehensive internal medicine training and cardiovascular subspecialty expertise to evaluating both routine and acute medical concerns. His credentials include:
We approach sick visits with the goal of understanding what is causing your symptoms, determining whether additional testing or treatment is appropriate, and making sure the concern is followed through to resolution. Depending on your symptoms and medical history, your evaluation may include an examination, laboratory testing, medication review, diagnostic testing, or coordination with a specialist.
Our concierge model is designed around continuity of care regardless of how you are feeling today. When you are already established with our practice, we know your medical history, medications, risk factors, and prior testing. That allows us to approach a new concern with more context rather than starting from scratch at each visit.
When you are under care by a concierge doctor in Beverly Hills, timely access is one of the significant advantages when you need same-day or next-day sick visits because your doctor relationship is already established and they know everything about your health history.
When Should I Schedule a Same-Day or Next-Day Sick Visit?
A timely physician evaluation may be appropriate when you have a new or worsening concern that does not appear to require emergency care. You may benefit from a same-day or next-day visit if you:
- Develop a fever, cough, sore throat, congestion, or other respiratory symptoms
- Have symptoms of a possible infection
- Develop persistent nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal discomfort
- Have a new rash, skin irritation, or other unexpected physical change
- Experience urinary symptoms or other signs of a possible infection
- Have a new or worsening headache
- Develop unexplained fatigue, weakness, dizziness, or changes in how you feel
- Need evaluation of a minor injury or other new medical concern
- Experience symptoms that are concerning but do not appear to require emergency department care
- Need a medication reviewed because of a new symptom or possible side effect
- Have a chronic condition that has suddenly become more difficult to control
- Are unsure whether your symptoms require primary care, urgent care, or specialty evaluation
- Need timely follow-up after an urgent care or emergency room visit
A sick visit may be appropriate when you are uncertain about the appropriate next step. We can evaluate your symptoms and determine whether you can be treated through primary care, need additional testing, or should be referred for more specialized or emergency care.
What to Expect From Our Concierge Same-Day & Next-Day Sick Visits
Our concierge-based sick visits are designed to provide timely evaluation while keeping your current health history and ongoing care plan in view.
Depending on your concern and your membership level, your visit may include:
We review your symptoms, when they began, how they have changed, and any factors that may be contributing to them.
When appropriate, Dr. Warej performs a focused physical examination based on your symptoms and medical history.
We review your current medications and supplements to identify potential interactions, side effects, or other factors relevant to your symptoms.
Laboratory testing or other diagnostic studies may be recommended when they can help clarify the cause of your symptoms.
When clinically appropriate, we may recommend prescription medication, supportive care, monitoring, or other treatment.
If you have an existing medical condition, we consider how the acute concern may affect your broader health and ongoing treatment.
When symptoms or medical history warrant it, Dr. Warej can evaluate potential cardiovascular implications using his subspecialty training.
If your symptoms require specialty care, we can help determine the appropriate referral and incorporate the specialist's findings into your overall care.
We establish appropriate next steps so that a new medical concern does not become disconnected from your ongoing healthcare.
Certain follow-up or lower-complexity concerns may be addressed virtually when an in-person examination is not necessary.
Same-day and next-day availability is intended for medical concerns that can appropriately be evaluated in our concierge membership primary care setting. Severe or potentially life-threatening symptoms should be evaluated through emergency medical services or an emergency department rather than waiting for a primary care appointment.

FAQs About Same-Day & Next-Day Sick Visits
How quickly can I see a primary care physician when I become sick?
Access depends on your membership level and the nature of your concern. Our concierge model is designed to provide timely access for acute medical issues, with same-day or next-day appointments available through the appropriate membership. Patients looking for a same-day doctor in Beverly Hills should contact our office so we can determine the appropriate appointment and level of care.
What conditions can be treated during a same-day primary care visit?
Same-day care can evaluate many acute medical concerns, including respiratory illnesses, infections, gastrointestinal symptoms, urinary symptoms, rashes, headaches, medication concerns, and other new or worsening problems. Our same-day primary care in Beverly Hills is intended for concerns that can be appropriately assessed outside an emergency department.
What is the difference between a same-day doctor appointment and urgent care?
Both can provide timely evaluation, but the settings and continuity of care differ. A same-day doctor appointment through our practice allows us to evaluate the concern within the context of your existing medical history, medications, and long-term care plan. Urgent primary care in Beverly Hills may be appropriate when you need prompt evaluation but do not have an established physician relationship or cannot access your regular primary care practice.
Can I get a next-day doctor appointment for a new medical problem?
Depending on your membership and the nature of the concern, next-day appointments may be available for appropriate acute medical issues. A next-day doctor's appointment in Beverly Hills can be useful when symptoms require a physician's evaluation but do not appear to warrant emergency care.
Should I see my concierge primary care doctor or go to the emergency room?
Emergency care is appropriate for potentially life-threatening symptoms such as severe chest pain, significant difficulty breathing, signs of stroke, severe bleeding, or loss of consciousness. For less urgent concerns, your primary care physician can often determine whether you need an office visit, diagnostic testing, urgent care, or specialty evaluation. This ability to help you determine the appropriate level of care is an important part of the relationship we provide as a concierge primary care doctor in Beverly Hills.
Does a concierge medicine doctor provide care for both acute illnesses and ongoing medical conditions?
Yes. Comprehensive concierge primary care can include evaluation of new illnesses alongside preventive care, chronic disease management, medication management, and long-term health planning. As a concierge medicine doctor in Beverly Hills, Dr. Warej maintains continuity between these different aspects of your healthcare rather than treating each visit as an isolated encounter.
