Whether it’s spring break or a family week on the Gulf, Panama City Beach has a way of serving up sunburn, swimmer’s ear, jellyfish stings, dehydration, and the occasional stomach bug. None of it is worth a three-hour wait at a packed urgent care. Vacation Medicine treats these by video, so you can be seen from your condo, hotel, or right on the sand.
Sunburn and heat-related illness, jellyfish stings, swimmer’s ear and ear infections, dehydration, rashes and allergic reactions, UTIs, sinus and respiratory infections, sore throats, COVID and flu, food poisoning with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, 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.
