Acute care visits at Millennium Medical Center are physician-led appointments for sudden illnesses, infections, injuries, and urgent symptoms — provided by Dr. Shayma, MD, board-certified internal medicine physician. Same-day appointments available. Real diagnosis. Real treatment. No assembly-line medicine.
Acute care refers to medical evaluation and treatment for sudden-onset illnesses or injuries that need prompt attention but are not life-threatening emergencies. At Millennium, acute care visits are not handled by a physician’s assistant reading from a protocol. Dr. Shayma conducts every evaluation personally — taking a thorough history, performing a physical exam, ordering appropriate testing, and providing a treatment plan that makes clinical sense for your specific presentation.
An acute care visit at Millennium is a same-day or next-day appointment for a sudden illness, infection, or injury. It is faster than scheduling with a specialist, less expensive than an emergency room, and — at Millennium — performed by a physician who knows your full health picture.
If you are experiencing chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of stroke, severe trauma, or any life-threatening symptom — go to an emergency room immediately. For everything else — infections, minor injuries, flu symptoms, skin issues, UTIs — an acute care visit with Dr. Shayma provides faster, more personalized care at a significantly lower cost.
Dr. Shayma evaluates the full clinical picture before recommending any specific treatment. Acute care covers a broad range of sudden-onset conditions that need physician evaluation today — not a referral appointment three weeks from now.

Sinusitis, pharyngitis (strep throat), otitis media, bronchitis, pneumonia evaluation — rapid strep testing available, antibiotic prescribing based on clinical evidence. Uncomplicated UTI treatment, complicated UTI evaluation, recurrent UTI workup — urinalysis available on-site, treatment tailored to your history and culture sensitivity.

Sprains, strains, minor lacerations, back pain flares, joint pain — evaluated and managed or referred appropriately. Imaging orders provided when clinically indicated. Fever without clear source, acute fatigue, GI illness, headache evaluation, dizziness — symptoms that need physician evaluation to rule out serious pathology.

The four pillars of medical credibility — and why physician-led Acute Care Visits produces better outcomes than delegated or unmonitored alternatives.
Dr. Shayma has evaluated a wide range of acute presentations — from straightforward infections to acute symptoms that revealed underlying conditions missed by prior providers.
Board-certified in internal medicine. Trained in recognizing when an acute presentation is the surface manifestation of a systemic condition — not just treating today’s symptom in isolation.
Dr. Shayma is the physician of record for every patient at Millennium. There is no gap between clinical decision and clinical action — no PA making calls under a remote MD.
Millennium does not operate on a volume model. If your acute visit reveals a pattern worth investigating — recurring infections, systemic symptoms — Dr. Shayma tells you directly, not at a future upsell appointment.

Acute care visit pricing at Millennium depends on the complexity of evaluation, any testing performed, and your insurance coverage. Millennium works with most major insurance plans. Call (703) 820-7520 for self-pay rates and insurance verification.
In most cases, yes. Call (703) 820-7520 first thing in the morning for same-day availability. Millennium does not operate as a walk-in clinic — appointments are scheduled, ensuring Dr. Shayma has adequate time to evaluate your presentation properly.
Yes. Dr. Shayma can prescribe antibiotics, antivirals, and other medications when clinically indicated. Prescriptions are sent electronically to your preferred pharmacy. Antibiotic prescribing is based on clinical evidence — bacterial infections are treated appropriately, and viral illnesses are not treated with antibiotics that won’t help.
The primary difference is who evaluates you. Walk-in urgent care centers frequently staff physician assistants or nurse practitioners as the primary provider. At Millennium, Dr. Shayma — a board-certified internal medicine physician — personally evaluates every patient. This matters when your acute presentation has complexity or a pattern that a checklist-based evaluation would miss.
Call (703) 820-7520 for a same-day appointment. Rapid strep testing and urinalysis are available on-site at Millennium. Dr. Shayma can diagnose and treat both conditions at a single visit — prescriptions sent the same day.
