house visit

Doctor comes over

A house visit is a professional call made to someone's home rather than at an office or facility.

Doctors make house visits to examine patients who can't travel; social workers conduct house visits to assess living conditions.

The term emphasizes that the professional comes to you: The pediatrician still does house visits for newborns.
