Medical care has a long-standing tradition, and receiving that care in one's own home has been a part of this tradition since ancient China and Greece.
This was especially important when fewer hospitals and offices existed, with house calls persisting through the Middle Ages, reaching their peak in the 19th century, when doctors often traveled on horseback or foot.
The rise of technology and the expansion of medical facilities have made house calls less common in recent times. However, there are still instances when home medical care is the best option, and our dedicated team offers it.
Dr. Shawn Veiseh serves the Beverly Hills, California, area with a wide range of medical treatments and screenings for acute and chronic illnesses, both in the office and in your home.
Let’s review the ways house calls can improve your health and when you should consider them an option for your care.
While treatment at home from nurses and other medical staff may be necessary in cases where patients have difficulties due to severe illness or age, our service is available directly from Dr. Veiseh. The examinations and treatments offered with this option are available to many of our patients of all ages and at various levels of medical need.
Visits to your home are easy to arrange, and we don’t just come in, quickly run through your exam, and move on to the next patient. We take time to assess your situation, determine the proper method of care for your illness, and begin treatment as soon as possible.
Having medical home care offers a level of convenience, but the reasons for looking into this option go well beyond that:
Physical and scheduling limitations can make it challenging to visit us regularly. House calls can bring care right to your door.
If your medical needs require special attention, having us visit you at home can make a significant difference in ensuring your issues are adequately managed.
This includes the special needs already mentioned and other unique situations, such as end-of-life care for patients who want to spend their last moments in a familiar setting, surrounded by loved ones.
Sometimes, a visit to our office isn’t enough to thoroughly examine all the complex issues associated with your medical condition. House calls can address unique problems in your home environment and improve your chances of a positive health outcome.
In recent years, many people have come to think of home care as telehealth contact with their doctors, which has become a common option since COVID. But house calls take medical care to a different level. We offer services such as:
This is a form of medical care that follows you wherever you go, covering examinations and treatments in your home, at your hotel, or even on the job. It also offers access to same-day care at all hours.
The Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Hollywood, West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Malibu, and Pacific Palisades areas can enjoy quality care in the comfort of their own home. With a range of medications traveling with us on each trip, getting treatment for various illnesses can begin right away.
If your situation requires medical care outside our office, we offer options to assist you at home. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Veiseh today by calling our office or scheduling a visit online to receive medical assistance in the comfort of your own home.
