Other respiratory infections include ear infections, sinus infections, pharyngitis (sore throat), and tracheobronchitis (croup and other illnesses).

- ImmunizationsYoung adults between ages 9 and 26 are able to receive the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine to protect themselves against certain types of cancers that are potentially caused by the HPV virus. The vaccination must be administered on two or three separate instances over the course of six months. The HPV vaccine is available at all Patient First Centers.
- GynecologyScheduling same-day appointments with your primary physician or OB-GYN can be difficult, so we are happy to provide women’s services at Patient First. You can visit Patient First anytime between 8am and 8pm, 365 days a year, for your women’s health needs. If you’d prefer to be seen by a female physician, you can view our physicians’ schedules online at each center’s location page and request your desired provider upon check-in.
- Pregnancy
- Kidney StonesEvery Patient First is equipped to provide routine digital x-rays of the chest, abdomen, spine, skull, and extremities. This means if you come in with a fracture, for example, we can confirm the break, put a splint on it, and, if necessary, arrange for you to see a specialist. Our on-site x-ray also helps our physicians diagnose conditions such as pneumonia, kidney stones, and dislocations.
- Cervical CancerPap smears are available every day at Patient First from 8am to 8pm on a walk-in basis. Anyone between ages 21 and 65 and who has a cervix should get a pap smear once every three years to screen for cervical cancer, unless recommended otherwise by a medical professional. Once your pap test results are received (generally within a week), you will be notified quickly.
