Scottsdale means resorts, golf, spring training, and bachelorette weekends — all under the Arizona sun. Heat illness, dehydration, a UTI, or a stomach bug shouldn’t cost you a day. Vacation Medicine treats them by video, right from your resort or rental.
Heat exhaustion and dehydration, sunburn, UTIs, food poisoning with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, sinus and respiratory infections, sore throats, ear infections, rashes and allergic reactions, 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 Arizona and 20+ other states, we’re built specifically for travelers who need fast, physician-led care without leaving where they’re staying.
