The Provider to Choose for Tick Removal & Bite Treatment in Newtown, CT

Tick Bite Newtown CT

Did you know that tick bites can occur all year long? While many people associate tick bites with the spring and summer seasons, ticks can actually become active after only 48 hours of above-freezing temperatures, meaning that bites can occur even during the cold winter months. For skilled tick bite treatment services in Newtown, Connecticut, rely on the professionals at PhysicianOne Urgent Care. We remove ticks, assess bites and rashes, and offer preventative care.

Why It’s Important to Promptly Seek Treatment

If you think that you’ve sustained a tick bite, don’t wait to seek treatment. Ticks are known for being carriers of Lyme disease, a harmful condition that can cause the following symptoms:

  • Fatigue
  • Fever
  • Headache
  • Joint pain
  • Rash

If a Lyme disease infection isn’t treated promptly, it can progress and spread to other areas of the body, including the joints, the nervous system, and even the heart. Luckily, if a tick is removed within 24 hours, the risk of developing Lyme disease will be significantly lower.

The Prompt Care You Need

If you think that you may have a tick bite, you can turn to PhysicianOne Urgent Care for prompt treatment. Our Newtown immediate care center—located at 266 South Main Street in Plaza South—offers walk-in treatment, so you won’t need to worry about making an appointment (although you can still check in online ahead of time to save your spot in line, if desired). And because we understand that illnesses and injuries can occur outside of the standard workday, we’re open 365 days per year with extended hours.

Throughout the visit I felt like the staff really cared. The doctor took his time talking with me about my symptoms, and I felt like he listened to all my concerns and took that into consideration when recommending the right treatment. Thank you!
