Took my elderly mother, who is also a cancer patient there looking for a primary care doctor. I have 30 years of experience under my belt of dealing with medical professionals, and I don't give 5 stars easily. The place was immaculate, and we were greeted with smiles when we walked through the door.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Z-2-H Family Med & Urgent Care
What symptoms indicate I should seek an Ankle Pain evaluation?
Seek care if you experience swelling, bruising, difficulty walking, sharp pain, reduced range of motion, or pain after a twist or fall. These symptoms may indicate a sprain, ligament tear, tendon injury, or fracture.
Do I need an evaluation if I can still walk on my ankle?
Yes — being able to walk does not rule out a fracture or ligament injury. Many sprains and fractures still allow partial weight-bearing.
How does an at-home ankle evaluation work?
A mobile provider arrives at your home, performs a full physical exam, checks stability, assesses swelling and bruising, and recommends treatment or imaging if warranted.
When is urgent care recommended for ankle injuries?
Urgent care is recommended for sudden injuries, suspected fractures, severe swelling, inability to bear weight, or worsening symptoms over 24–48 hours.
How quickly can mobile urgent care arrive?
Most UrgentCare2Go visits occur the same day and often within hours, depending on availability and location.
Do I need an X-ray for ankle pain?
Your provider determines this using clinical guidelines such as the Ottawa Ankle Rules. If imaging is needed, recommendations are provided for the nearest facility or in-home options if available in your area.
Is this service covered by insurance?
Most insurance plans cover ankle pain evaluations. Your cost varies depending on your plan benefits, copay, or deductible.
Can children be evaluated for ankle pain?
Yes — both children and adults can receive ankle injury evaluations, including sports-related sprains and growth-plate concerns.
What are common causes of ankle pain?
Common causes include sprains, ligament tears, tendonitis, arthritis, gout, nerve irritation, and fractures. Proper evaluation helps determine the underlying cause.
How long does ankle pain take to heal?
Mild sprains heal within 1–2 weeks, moderate injuries may take 3–6 weeks, and severe ligament injuries or fractures require longer recovery. Early treatment speeds healing.
Can telehealth be used for ankle pain?
Telehealth is helpful for initial symptom review, treatment guidance, and follow-up. However, physical examination is often recommended for accurate diagnosis.
Is IV therapy used for ankle injuries?
IV therapy is not typically required for ankle injuries but may be used to manage inflammation in select cases when medically appropriate. All IV treatments are supervised by licensed medical providers.
Are evaluations private and HIPAA-compliant?
Yes — both in-clinic and mobile visits follow strict HIPAA guidelines to protect your medical information and ensure confidentiality.
What should I expect during my appointment?
Your provider will review symptoms, examine the ankle, assess mobility, provide treatment recommendations, and determine the need for imaging or specialist referral.
What treatments are typically recommended?
Treatment may include RICE therapy (rest, ice, compression, elevation), bracing, anti-inflammatory medications, mobility support, physical therapy recommendations, and follow-up instructions.
