Acute Conditions We Treat in Colorado Springs
Our acute care clinic in Colorado Springs provides evaluation and treatment for a range of common illnesses and short-term health concerns.

A cough, congestion, runny nose, or general feeling of being unwell can make even ordinary days difficult. We can evaluate your symptoms and help you determine the appropriate way to manage them.
Flu
Flu symptoms can come on quickly and leave you feeling exhausted. Flu treatment focuses on your symptoms, health history, and how long you’ve been sick to determine appropriate care.

A painful sore throat isn’t always just a cold. If you’re searching for a strep throat doctor in Colorado Springs, our team can evaluate your symptoms and suggest appropriate testing or treatment.
Sore Throat
Whether your throat has been bothering you for a day or has continued to worsen, an evaluation can help identify the likely cause and determine what care you may need.
Sinus Infection
Persistent congestion, facial pressure, drainage, and other symptoms can sometimes point to a sinus infection. Dr. Tasha can evaluate your symptoms and recommend appropriate treatment.
Earache
An earache can result from several different causes. Evaluation can help determine what’s behind your discomfort and whether treatment or additional follow-up is needed.
Pink Eye
Redness, irritation, discharge, and discomfort around the eye can be signs of pink eye. Dr. Tasha can assess your symptoms and recommend appropriate care.
Urinary Tract Infection
Burning with urination, frequent urges, pelvic discomfort, and other symptoms may indicate a urinary tract infection (UTI). Evaluation and appropriate testing can help guide treatment.
GI / Viral Illness
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, and other gastrointestinal symptoms can have several causes. We can evaluate your symptoms and help you determine the appropriate next steps.
COVID-19

The Right Care Starts With the Right Evaluation
Not every illness needs the same treatment. A sore throat doesn’t automatically mean antibiotics. Congestion doesn’t always mean a bacterial infection and feeling sick doesn’t necessarily tell you what is causing the problem.

Our acute care clinic in Colorado Springs looks beyond symptoms and designs your treatment combined with medical expertise and holistic care approach. For eligible healthcare needs, telehealth primary care may also be available. This can be particularly helpful when traveling to the office is difficult, including for patients in the greater area of El Paso County and throughout Colorado.

Look for the Cause
Your symptoms, health history, physical examination, and other relevant information can help provide a clearer picture of what you’re experiencing.
Test When Appropriate
When symptoms require additional information, appropriate testing can help support a more informed diagnosis and treatment decision.
Treat the Problem, Not Just the Symptom
Once the likely cause is understood, Dr. Tasha can discuss appropriate treatment, symptom management, and what you should watch for as you recover.
