About Physician Associates
Physician Associates are licensed medical practitioners, trained to evaluate, diagnose, and treat illnesses using the same medical model as physicians. A Physician Associate provides a wide range of physician procedures and services, including prescribing medications. PAs practice medicine with the supervision of a licensed physician and are held to the same medical practice and patient care standards as are physicians. The physician is always available for consultation if necessary. |

Sickday Medical House Calls is more than a nostalgic return to the “days gone by” of at-home medical care. We have the modern healthcare solution for patients in need of prompt medical attention but unable—or unwilling—to wait hours in an emergency room or days for an appointment with their primary care physician. Sickday clients receive prompt medical attention in the comfort of their home, office, or hotel room. PAs spend an average of 30 to 40 minutes with each patient, listening, observing, and truly understanding their health needs. This personal attention assures accurate diagnosis and treatment plans. After ten years of working in hospitals and physicians’ offices, Naomi Friedman founded Sickday in 2001 to re-establish house calls as an integral part of the nation’s healthcare system. She has saved lives, rescued honeymoons, and enabled business executives to stay on schedule. The New York Times has called her “an Angel of Mercy.” She has seen thousands of New York’s residents, corporate executives, and visitors alike over the past six years, and is considered a pioneer in the house call field. |
