The primary difference between a house call and what you're accustomed to happening during a traditional visit to the doctor's office is more privacy and less waiting. It's much more comfortable and much more convenient.
Call NU House Calls when you are ill or just not feeling right. Once Dr. Urankar arrives, she will:
Obtain your medical history
Perform an appropriate examination
Discuss her findings and thoroughly explain her diagnosis
Educate you about your condition and the medication she intends to prescribe
Make sure any questions and concerns are discussed and answered
Dispense medication(s) and/or provide prescriptions
Summarize and plan for follow-up visit if necessary
Dr. Urankar will also provide, as part of your participation fee, preventive health services and an annual health assessment at your location so that you and she can develop a schedule of regular screenings and check-ups to keep you on the road to good health.
Services such as:
Physical examinations
Medication management and medication refills
Health and exercise assessment
Flu shots and other vaccines
Diabetic screening and monitoring
Coumadin testing
In addition, as part of her practice, Dr. Urankar can arrange and coordinate a spectrum of limited additional services that can also be performed in your home. These services include ultrasound, X-rays, psychological counseling, pharmacy consulting, and geriatric fitness assessments.

"I'm not at all embarrassed to admit I'm old enough to remember when doctors made house calls. What a wonderful concept! — bringing medical services and education to people in their most comfortable environment. Unfortunately, the medical establishment, of which I've been a member for more than 25 years, allowed this way of practicing medicine to slip away. But I think it's time for it to make a return! It may be an "old" idea, but it's "new" for today's field of medical care — and considering the large and growing older population and the inflexible schedules so many people have today — I think it's an idea that's more appropriate now than ever before. That's why I started NU House Calls. — Dr. Nancy Urankar
