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 Gastroenteritis (Stomach Flu)?
Gastroenteritis is inflammation of the stomach and intestines, causing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and dehydration. Most cases are caused by viruses but can also be due to bacteria or contaminated food.
What symptoms suggest I might have the stomach flu?
Common symptoms include vomiting, watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, fever, or difficulty staying hydrated.
When should I seek medical care?
Seek evaluation if symptoms last more than 24–48 hours, dehydration occurs, vomiting is severe, or there is blood in stool or vomit.
Can Gastroenteritis be evaluated at home?
Yes. Mobile clinicians can assess hydration status, review symptoms, recommend supportive care, and determine whether additional treatment is needed.
How is Gastroenteritis treated?
Treatment focuses on hydration, diet modification, rest, and anti-nausea or anti-diarrheal medications when appropriate.
Do I need IV fluids?
IV hydration may be recommended if dehydration is significant or if you are unable to keep fluids down.
Is Gastroenteritis contagious?
Yes. Most viral forms spread easily through close contact, contaminated surfaces, or shared food and water.
Can children be evaluated for stomach flu symptoms?
Yes. Both adults and children can receive evaluation and treatment guidance through this service.
Does food poisoning cause similar symptoms?
Yes. Foodborne illness can cause vomiting, diarrhea, cramping, and fever. Providers help determine the likely cause.
Are virtual visits helpful for stomach flu symptoms?
Virtual visits can help determine whether in-home care, clinic evaluation, or supportive monitoring is most appropriate.
Does insurance cover Gastroenteritis evaluation?
Most insurance plans cover evaluations, supportive care, follow-up, and necessary testing.
How long does recovery take?
Most cases improve in 1–3 days, but dehydration or severe symptoms may require medical support.
How can I prevent Gastroenteritis?
Proper handwashing, safe food handling, avoiding contaminated water, and cleaning shared surfaces help prevent the spread.
