Cold and Flu Treatment in Ossining, NY
Walk-in cold and flu testing with same-day results from a board-certified physician
A cold that will not shift, a fever that came on fast, or a sore throat you need tested before work or school. Immediate Medical Care MD in Ossining treats colds, flu and the illnesses that come with them, with walk-in appointments and testing on site.
Every patient is seen by Dr. Anupama Pani, a board-certified physician, rather than by a rotating clinician. Results from on-site testing are usually available during your visit.
What We Treat
Testing On Site – The Practical Difference
This is what sets Immediate Medical Care MD apart. We run rapid testing for flu, COVID and strep in the office, alongside full laboratory diagnostics and chest X-ray where a cough needs a closer look.
Most patients leave knowing what they have and with a treatment plan, rather than being told to wait for a lab to call.
Why Testing Matters
A sore throat that is strep needs an antibiotic; one that is viral does not, and taking one will not help. Testing is what separates those two, and guessing is how people end up on antibiotics they did not need.
Rapid Flu Testing
Results usually within 15-30 minutes, so treatment decisions can be made during your visit.
Rapid COVID Testing
Quick diagnosis to guide your next steps and protect those around you.
Rapid Strep Testing
Know immediately whether antibiotics are appropriate for your sore throat.
When You Need a Note or Clearance
If you need documentation for work or school, tell us at the visit and we can provide it. Many patients come specifically for a test result they need in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an appointment for a flu test?
Walk-ins are welcome during walk-in hours and same-day appointments are usually available. Call ahead at 914-502-0881 if you would like to be sure.
Can you tell whether it is flu, COVID or strep?
Yes. We run rapid tests for all three on site, usually with results during your visit. This lets us determine the right treatment for your condition.
