Virtual urgent care — sometimes called telemedicine or telehealth — connects you with a licensed, board-certified physician via secure video from your phone, tablet, or computer. Instead of sitting in a waiting room for hours, you open an app, describe your symptoms, and speak face-to-face with a real doctor within minutes.
At Vacation Medicine, our physicians are ER-trained and board-certified with decades of clinical experience. We’re not a chatbot, not a nurse hotline, and not a quick checkbox visit. We give you the same quality evaluation you’d get in person — faster, cheaper, and from wherever you are.
“The best urgent care visit is the one where you get a great doctor, a clear diagnosis, and a prescription sent to your pharmacy — all without leaving the beach.” — Dr. Erik Petersen, MD

Our physicians handle a wide range of acute illnesses and minor injuries. Common conditions include:
We built Vacation Medicine because urgent care for travelers and vacationers should be as simple and high-quality as care at home. When you’re spending a week at 30A or the Gulf Coast, the last thing you want is a 3-hour ER wait for a sinus infection.
Virtual urgent care is ideal when your condition is acute (came on quickly), non-life-threatening, and would normally require a prescription or professional guidance to resolve. If you’re unsure whether your situation warrants a virtual visit or an ER, call us — we’ll tell you honestly.
If in doubt, call 911 or go to your nearest ER. Virtual care is best for non-emergency situations.
