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 is Elbow Bursitis?
Elbow Bursitis occurs when the olecranon bursa becomes inflamed, causing visible swelling, discomfort, and reduced mobility. It may result from injury, infection, pressure, or arthritis.
What symptoms indicate I should seek evaluation?
Symptoms include swelling at the back of the elbow, pain with movement, warmth, redness, tenderness, or fluid buildup. Severe redness or fever may indicate infection.
Can Elbow Bursitis be evaluated in-home?
Yes. Mobile providers can assess swelling, rule out infection, provide treatment options, and recommend further testing if necessary.
What causes Elbow Bursitis?
Common causes include repetitive pressure, leaning on the elbow, trauma, infection, gout, and inflammatory joint disease.
How is Elbow Bursitis treated?
Treatment may include rest, compression, anti-inflammatory medication, aspiration, antibiotics if infected, and activity modification.
Do I need imaging for Elbow Bursitis?
Imaging is not always required but may be recommended if symptoms persist, trauma is suspected, or infection cannot be ruled out.
When is urgent care recommended?
Urgent care is necessary if swelling rapidly increases, redness spreads, fever develops, or significant pain prevents movement, as these may indicate infection.
How fast can mobile urgent care arrive?
Arrival typically occurs same-day or next-day depending on location and availability.
Is this condition contagious?
Non-infectious bursitis is not contagious. However, septic bursitis caused by infection requires immediate medical attention.
Is my medical information private?
Yes. All consultations are fully HIPAA-compliant, ensuring complete confidentiality.
Can Elbow Bursitis be treated without surgery?
Yes. Most cases improve with conservative treatment. Surgery is rarely needed unless symptoms are recurrent or severe.
Does insurance cover the evaluation?
Most major insurance plans provide coverage for evaluation and treatment. Coverage verification is available at the time of scheduling.
Can children be evaluated for Elbow Bursitis?
Yes. Evaluations are available for both children and adults experiencing elbow swelling or pain.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery varies depending on the cause. Mild cases resolve in days, while chronic bursitis or infection may require extended care.
