Meet your clinician

Pick a time that works for you to speak with a licensed clinician. They'll review your health story beforehand, so your visit can be used to listen and dig deeper.

3

Leave with clear next steps and a personalized care plan. If you need medication, labs, or to see a specialist, your clinician will take care of the details for you.

4

Own your health

Track your progress, schedule follow-ups, and adjust care as your needs evolve. Your care team and General AI is only a few taps away.

Virtual visit with clinician

Ongoing support, always available.

You’ll be supported by experienced clinicians who care for a wide range of health needs, from everyday concerns to more complex conditions.

Our clinicians track your progress over time and adjust your care as needed. If medication is prescribed, we’ll manage dosing and monitor for side effects. If lab testing is recommended, we review results and refine your plan accordingly. You’re never left to navigate care on your own.

All your care in one place. That’s the General Medicine difference.

We help you understand your options, connect you to the right clinicians, manage prescriptions, coordinate any needed evaluations, and keep an eye on your overall health along the way. It’s comprehensive care that looks at the full picture — your goals, your history, your lifestyle — and makes it simple to move forward with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my child actually has head lice?

Lice are confirmed by finding live lice or viable nits (eggs) attached to the hair shaft within a quarter inch of the scalp. Itching alone isn't diagnostic — a careful examination with a fine-tooth comb under good lighting is the most reliable method.

Do I need a prescription treatment or will OTC products work?

OTC permethrin and pyrethrins work well in most cases. Prescription options — like spinosad, topical ivermectin, or benzyl alcohol — are recommended when OTC treatments have failed or when resistance is suspected, which is increasingly common in some regions.

Can lice live on furniture, bedding, or pets?

Lice cannot survive more than 24–48 hours off a human host and cannot live on pets. Washing bedding and recently used items in hot water is sensible, but extensive environmental treatment is generally unnecessary and not supported by evidence.

How do I prevent re-infestation after treatment?

Avoid head-to-head contact and sharing hair accessories during active outbreaks. Completing the full treatment course — including a repeat application — is the most important step. Check household contacts and treat anyone with confirmed infestation simultaneously.

What side effects are associated with lice treatments?

OTC permethrin and pyrethrins may cause mild scalp irritation. Prescription topical ivermectin and spinosad are generally well tolerated. None should be used near the eyes. Oral ivermectin, used off-label, carries a broader systemic side effect profile. Head Lice visit What to expect from a Head Lice visit
