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 the difference between a Food Intolerance and a Food Allergy?
A Food Allergy triggers the immune system and may cause severe reactions, while a Food Intolerance primarily affects digestion and is usually less severe.
What symptoms suggest a Food Intolerance?
Common symptoms include bloating, stomach pain, gas, diarrhea, fatigue, or headaches after eating certain foods.
What symptoms suggest a Food Allergy?
Possible signs include hives, itching, swelling, throat tightness, wheezing, or GI symptoms shortly after consuming the allergen.
Should I seek urgent care for Food Allergy symptoms?
Yes. Severe symptoms such as swelling, difficulty breathing, or widespread hives require urgent medical attention.
Can you diagnose both intolerance and allergy during the visit?
We assess symptoms and determine whether additional allergy testing, elimination diets, or follow-up care is needed.
Are Food Intolerance / Allergy evaluations covered by insurance?
Most insurance plans cover symptom evaluation. Coverage for testing depends on your plan and medical necessity.
Can children be evaluated for Food Allergies or Intolerances?
Yes. Children often experience food reactions, and early evaluation helps prevent complications.
Can symptoms be evaluated through telehealth?
Telehealth is effective for initial evaluation, history review, and dietary planning. In-person evaluation may be recommended for severe or unclear symptoms.
What foods commonly cause reactions?
Dairy, gluten, nuts, soy, eggs, shellfish, artificial sweeteners, and high-fructose foods are common triggers.
Can symptoms become worse over time?
Untreated allergies may worsen. Intolerances may fluctuate with diet, stress, or gut health.
How do in-home visits help evaluate Food Reactions?
In-home visits allow for relaxed discussion and personalized evaluation related to your daily diet and environment.
Do I need an epinephrine auto-injector?
If an allergy is suspected, your clinician may recommend carrying epinephrine for safety.
What treatment options are available?
Treatment may include dietary adjustments, avoidance plans, symptom relief medications, digestive enzymes, and emergency allergy preparedness.
