One-Time Medical Visit in Fairlawn & Akron, OH
Focused, In-Person Care for a Specific Concern

A One-Time Medical Visit offers a thoughtful, in-person evaluation with Dr Leslee Mcelrath, designed for isolated, non-emergent concerns.
This visit is intentional, limited in scope, and grounded in good medicine — not quick fixes.
