Quick Diagnosis. Fast Relief. You Should Not Have
to Suffer Through It

A urinary tract infection is one of the most common infections adults experience, and one of the most uncomfortable. The burning, the urgency, the pain, and the pressure do not need to wait until Monday morning or until you can get into a specialist. At Superior Health Medical and Wellness, Dr. Akers can see you the same day, confirm your diagnosis, and get you started on the right antibiotic, fast.

Not all UTIs are the same, and not all urinary symptoms mean the same thing. Dr. Akers evaluates your specific symptoms, orders appropriate urinalysis and culture testing, and prescribes targeted antibiotic therapy based on what the infection actually is, not just what it looks like on the surface.

UTI & Bladder Infection Services What We Provide

From same-day diagnosis to targeted antibiotic treatment and follow-up testing, we provide comprehensive care for urinary tract infections and related urinary health concerns. Explore the services below.

Dr. Akers performs in-office urine testing that can detect signs of infection, blood, or other abnormalities within minutes. This allows for same-day diagnosis and same-visit treatment without waiting on lab results to start your care.
A urine culture identifies the specific bacteria causing your infection and determines which antibiotics will be most effective against it. If you have had recurrent UTIs or a previous infection that did not respond to a standard antibiotic, a culture is especially important to ensure your treatment is precisely matched to your infection.
Dr. Akers prescribes antibiotic treatment based on your symptoms, urinalysis findings, and any available culture results. She selects the appropriate antibiotic for the type of infection you have, at the right dose and duration, to ensure full clearance of the infection rather than partial treatment.
If you experience three or more UTIs in a year or two or more within six months, Dr. Akers evaluates the underlying pattern. Recurrent UTIs can be related to anatomical factors, hormonal changes, hygiene habits, sexual activity, or an immune issue. Understanding the cause allows for targeted prevention strategies.
Symptoms like high fever, back or flank pain, nausea, and vomiting alongside urinary symptoms may indicate an infection has spread to the kidneys. Dr. Akers evaluates for kidney involvement and escalates care appropriately, including IV antibiotic treatment when indicated or referral if hospitalization is needed.
For complex or recurrent infections, Dr. Akers schedules follow-up testing to confirm the infection has fully cleared. A urine culture performed one to two weeks after completing antibiotics provides confirmation that the treatment was successful and the infection has not returned.
Why It Matters Treat It Right
The First Time
Urinary tract infection care at Superior Health Medical
01 Untreated UTIs Can Spread

A lower urinary tract infection that goes untreated or is inadequately treated can progress to a kidney infection, which is significantly more serious and may require hospitalization. Getting treated promptly and completing the full course of antibiotics is the most effective way to stop an infection before it spreads.

02 The Right Antibiotic Matters

Not all antibiotics work equally against all bacteria. Antibiotic resistance is increasingly common, which means a standard first-line antibiotic may not clear your specific infection. Urine culture and sensitivity testing identifies exactly which antibiotic your infection will respond to, making treatment more effective and less likely to require a second course.

03 Recurrent Infections Deserve Investigation

If you get UTIs frequently, the answer is not just repeating the same antibiotic cycle. Dr. Akers evaluates the underlying pattern to identify contributing factors and create a prevention strategy, so you are breaking the cycle rather than just treating each infection as it occurs.

Recognizing a UTI Symptoms That Tell
You Something Is Wrong

The classic symptoms of a lower urinary tract infection include a burning or stinging sensation when urinating, a frequent and urgent need to urinate even when the bladder is nearly empty, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pressure or discomfort. Some patients also notice blood in their urine.

These symptoms are uncomfortable and disruptive, but they are also reliable enough that many women who have had UTIs before recognize them quickly. If you have these symptoms, do not wait. Come in for same-day testing and treatment. The sooner you start antibiotics, the faster the infection clears.

However, not all urinary symptoms mean UTI. Bladder spasms, interstitial cystitis, yeast infections, and sexually transmitted infections can all cause overlapping symptoms. Dr. Akers evaluates your full symptom picture and tests appropriately to ensure you get the right diagnosis and the right treatment.

Kidney Infection Warning Signs When Symptoms Point
to Something More

If your UTI symptoms are accompanied by high fever, chills, back or flank pain, nausea, or vomiting, these signs may indicate the infection has reached the kidneys. Kidney infections require more aggressive antibiotic treatment and, in some cases, IV antibiotics or hospitalization.

Dr. Akers evaluates all patients presenting with urinary symptoms for signs of upper tract involvement. If kidney infection is suspected or confirmed, she manages your care appropriately, including escalating to IV treatment or coordinating hospitalization if your clinical picture warrants it.

The most common signs of a UTI include burning or pain during urination, a frequent and urgent need to use the bathroom, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pressure. Some patients also notice blood in their urine. If you have these symptoms, call us for a same-day appointment. We can diagnose and treat you at the same visit.
A urinalysis provides fast results and is often enough to confirm a straightforward UTI. A urine culture is ordered when your infection is recurrent, when a standard antibiotic has not worked for you in the past, or when Dr. Akers wants to confirm the specific bacteria causing the infection so she can prescribe the most effective antibiotic.
Occasionally a mild UTI will resolve without antibiotics, but this is not reliably predictable. Untreated or under-treated UTIs carry the risk of spreading to the kidneys, which is a significantly more serious infection. Dr. Akers recommends treating confirmed UTIs with antibiotics to clear the infection completely and prevent progression.
Most patients begin to feel relief within 24 to 48 hours of starting antibiotics. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics even if you feel better sooner. Stopping early can allow remaining bacteria to survive and lead to a recurrent infection that may be harder to treat.
Staying well-hydrated, urinating after sexual activity, wiping front to back, and avoiding certain hygiene products that disrupt vaginal flora can all reduce UTI risk. Dr. Akers will review your specific pattern and risk factors to recommend targeted prevention strategies, which may include low-dose antibiotic prophylaxis for patients with frequent recurrence.
Yes, though UTIs are far more common in women. Men who develop UTIs often have an underlying contributing factor such as an enlarged prostate, a urinary tract abnormality, or catheter use. Dr. Akers evaluates male UTI patients for underlying causes and manages treatment accordingly.
