Hilton Head is biking, beaches, and golf — not waiting rooms. When sunburn, dehydration, a bug bite, a UTI, or a stomach bug interrupts the trip, you want fast, physician-led care you can trust. Vacation Medicine treats these by video, right from your villa or resort.
Sunburn and heat-related illness, dehydration, bug bites and rashes, ear infections, UTIs, sinus and respiratory infections, sore throats, COVID and flu, food poisoning with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and sprains and minor injuries.
Vacation Medicine was founded by Dr. Erik Petersen and Dr. Will Carlson, board-certified emergency physicians with 25+ years of combined experience and 50,000+ patients treated. Licensed in South Carolina and 20+ other states, we’re built specifically for travelers who need fast, physician-led care without leaving where they’re staying.

Can you treat me at my Hilton Head hotel or rental?
Yes. As long as you’re physically in South Carolina at the time of the visit, you can be seen by video from anywhere — your rental, hotel, or wherever you’re staying.
How fast can I be seen?
Most visits start within minutes and take about 10–15 minutes start to finish.
Can you send a prescription to a pharmacy near me?
Yes — we send prescriptions electronically to the Hilton Head-area pharmacy most convenient to you.
What does it cost?
A flat $100 per visit, including a full week of follow-up messaging. We’re direct-pay and don’t bill insurance.
What if I need to be seen in person?
In the rare case you need a higher level of care, we’ll help you find the nearest Hilton Head ER or clinic — at no cost for the virtual visit.
