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 are flashes and floaters?
Flashes appear as brief streaks of light, while floaters look like dark specks or strands drifting across your vision. They are commonly related to changes in the vitreous gel inside the eye.
Are flashes and floaters serious?
Many cases are harmless, but sudden or worsening symptoms can indicate retinal tears or detachment, which require urgent evaluation.
When should I seek medical attention for flashes or floaters?
Seek evaluation immediately if symptoms are sudden, increasing, accompanied by vision loss, or associated with trauma.
Can urgent care evaluate flashes and floaters?
Yes. Providers can assess symptoms, identify red flags, and coordinate urgent referral if retinal conditions are suspected.
Can these symptoms be evaluated at home?
Yes. Mobile urgent care clinicians can evaluate symptoms in-home and determine whether further imaging or ophthalmology referral is needed.
Do flashes and floaters always require imaging?
No. Providers determine the need for imaging based on symptoms, risk factors, and examination findings.
What conditions can cause flashes and floaters?
They may result from vitreous detachment, aging changes, migraines, inflammation, trauma, or retinal issues.
Is this evaluation covered by insurance?
Most major insurance plans are accepted. Coverage varies by visit type and medical necessity.
How fast can mobile urgent care arrive?
Same-day or rapid-response visits are often available depending on location and scheduling.
Are evaluations HIPAA-compliant?
Yes. All in-home, in-clinic, and telehealth visits follow strict HIPAA privacy standards.
Can telehealth be used for these symptoms?
Telehealth can screen symptoms, but in-person evaluation is often needed for sudden or severe cases.
Do flashes and floaters go away on their own?
Floaters may diminish over time, while flashes often improve as the eye stabilizes. Monitoring is still recommended.
Will I need a specialist referral?
Referral to an ophthalmologist is recommended if symptoms are concerning or suggest retinal involvement.
Can stress or migraines trigger flashes?
Yes. Migraine auras and stress-related visual changes can cause temporary flashes, but evaluation is still recommended.
