Uncomplicated UTIs are the kind telehealth handles every day. If you have these symptoms, you're a great candidate for text-based treatment:

I'm a nurse practitioner, not a salesman. If something more serious is going on, I want you in an ER — not texting me.
For the classic stuff — burning, urgency, frequency, lower belly pressure — that's bread-and-butter telehealth, and we handle it all the time.
Yes. For uncomplicated UTIs, text-based evaluation by a nurse practitioner is clinically supported. Chris takes a detailed symptom history via text — when it started, your specific symptoms, past UTI history, allergies, and current medications. If antibiotics are the right call, he sends the prescription electronically. Same clinical guidelines (IDSA) as urgent care, just delivered by text instead of a waiting room.
$59 flat for the visit. No copays, no facility fees, no surprise bills. Antibiotics are separate but most generic UTI meds — nitrofurantoin (Macrobid) or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim) — cost under $10 with GoodRx. Total out-of-pocket is typically under $70. Compare that to $150–$300 at urgent care or $500+ at the ER.
Chris follows IDSA guidelines for uncomplicated UTIs. First-line options include nitrofurantoin (Macrobid) and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim/Septra). Selection depends on your symptom history, allergies, and local antibiotic resistance patterns. These are the same antibiotics prescribed at urgent care and ERs.
Most people hear back within a few hours. Chris personally reads every text — no chatbots, no call centers. Once he determines antibiotics are appropriate, the prescription is sent electronically to your pharmacy. Many patients pick up same-day.
Recurrent UTIs (three or more per year) are common, especially in women. Chris can evaluate your pattern, discuss prevention strategies like post-coital prophylaxis or cranberry supplements, and determine if you need referral for further workup. Text back anytime — follow-ups are part of the deal.
For uncomplicated UTIs, yes. The clinical decision-making is the same — symptom history, risk assessment, guideline-based antibiotic selection. The difference is you don't drive anywhere, don't sit in a waiting room, and pay $59 instead of $150–$300. Urgent care is better if you need a urine culture or have complicated symptoms.
