Key West is paradise — and a long way from a big hospital. When sunburn, dehydration, a stomach bug, a UTI, or an ear infection hits at the end of the road, getting seen quickly matters. Vacation Medicine connects you with a board-certified ER physician by video in minutes, right from your hotel or rental, and sends any prescription to a Key West pharmacy.
Sunburn and heat-related illness, dehydration, jellyfish stings, ear infections and swimmer’s ear, UTIs, food poisoning with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, sinus and respiratory infections, sore throats, COVID and flu, 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 Florida and 20+ other states, we’re built specifically for travelers who need fast, physician-led care without leaving where they’re staying.
We can send your prescription to whichever Key West-area pharmacy is most convenient. Not sure what’s close to where you’re staying? Use the button below to find pharmacies near where you’re staying.
