UTI treatment in DC, without the urgent care wait

A UTI usually makes itself known: it burns when you pee, you need to go again minutes later, and your urine may look cloudy or smell strong. For women 18 to 75 with these typical symptoms, there's no need to sit in a waiting room. Start a $39 visit from your phone, and Dr. Margaryan reviews your answers, usually within 3 hours. She may also do a short video call with you, at no extra cost. If you need an antibiotic, such as nitrofurantoin (Macrobid), cephalexin (Keflex) or Bactrim, she sends it to the DC pharmacy you pick.

A fever, pain in your back or side, or vomiting can mean a kidney infection. In that case Dr. Margaryan will tell you whether a video visit or an in-person exam is the safer choice. UTI or kidney infection? How to tell · How online UTI treatment works

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) treatment in DC

BV is one of the most common reasons for unusual vaginal discharge. It happens when the usual balance of bacteria in the vagina shifts. It often shows up as a thin, gray or white discharge with a fishy smell, especially after sex. BV is not a sexually transmitted infection, but sex can make it more likely.

With a $39 visit, Dr. Margaryan reviews your symptoms, usually within 3 hours, and may do a short video call with you at no extra cost. If treatment is right for you, she can send metronidazole (Flagyl), clindamycin (Cleocin), tinidazole (Tindamax) or Solosec to your pharmacy. BV can come back, so if it keeps returning, book a video visit to plan longer-term care. Itching and thick, white discharge? It may be a yeast infection instead

Pregnant, or have pelvic pain or a fever? These need a video visit or in-person care instead of a quick care visit. If that is the case, Dr. Margaryan will tell you and refund your $39.

How online care works in DC

DC holds telehealth to the same standard as an in-person visit. Your physician must be licensed in DC, and you must be in DC when you are seen. To meet DC's rules, your $39 quick care visit may include a short video call with Dr. Margaryan. There is no extra charge for it. In every visit, Dr. Margaryan:

• confirms who you are and that you are in DC
• tells you who she is and how to reach the practice
• reviews your history and symptoms before treating you
• tells you when a quick care visit is not enough, and moves you to a video visit or in-person care

If a quick care visit turns out not to be right for you, we refund your $39 in full or apply it to a video visit, whichever you prefer. You are never charged twice.
