Immediate and timely treatment is available for any query you may have, all you need to to ask our doctor. 

4. Reduced Risk of Exposure

For vulnerable individuals, such as the elderly, young families, or those with compromised immune systems, at-home healthcare is essential. It drastically reduces exposure to pathogens commonly found in public waiting areas.

The preference for at-home services has grown significantly, especially in the wake of COVID-19 and other viral outbreaks. People are increasingly choosing the safety and convenience of receiving services like blood tests, IV therapy, or physiotherapy in their own homes.

5. Seamless Integration into Busy Life

At-home care offers unmatched convenience for busy professionals and families.

When to Call a Doorstep Doctor vs. Visiting the ER

This is a crucial difference. Home visit doctors are ideal for urgent issues that are not life-threatening emergencies. You should contact a doorstep doctor for the conditions mentioned previously.

For serious emergencies, you must go to a hospital emergency room immediately or call 998, such as: 

● Chest pain or difficulty breathing

● Severe abdominal pain

● Signs of stroke (facial drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty)

● Major trauma, heavy bleeding, or suspected broken bones

● Sudden, severe headache or confusion

However, if you are unsure, call Valeo Health team, and then they help you decide if a home visit is right for you or if you need emergency care.
