Our urgent medical services are the closest thing to a doctor's office brought to the comfort of your hotel room or office. BOSTON HOTEL DOCTORS provides a sensible and convenient alternative to very costly hospital emergency room visits where patients customarily wait for many hours to be treated and are exposed to air-borne diseases, bacteria and viruses present in the hospital setting.
Our doctors are equipped to address urgent medical conditions. You will be diagnosed and treated in the comfort of your hotel room, office or arrange to have you brought to our office. Our doctors can administer intravenous fluids and can perform minor procedures including splinting sprains, drainage of abscess, wound care and suturing lacerations.
After treating your urgent medical condition, a follow-up communication with our doctors is included as part of our service until you are recovered. In the event that your medical condition warrants emergency medical services in a hospital setting, our doctors will facilitate an emergency transfer to a local hospital if evaluating you in person.
