PREVENTIVE CARE

We believe that preventive care is the foundation of good health.

We are here to help you prevent illness

An annual physical exam is a routine appointment with your doctor to evaluate your general health status. It involves a series of assessments, discussions, and tests aimed at detecting and preventing illnesses, monitoring existing conditions, and promoting overall wellness.

What to expect during your exam

  • Medical History Review

    Your provider will discuss your medical history, including any existing conditions, past surgeries, allergies, and medications you are currently taking. This information helps provide valuable context for your overall health assessment.

  • Vital Signs

    Your blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature will be measured to gauge your basic body functions.

  • Physical Examination

    Your provider will perform a thorough physical examination, which may include checking your heart and lung function, examining your abdomen, assessing your reflexes, and evaluating your overall physical condition.

  • Laboratory Testing

    Depending on your age, medical history, and risk factors, your provider may order specific laboratory tests such as blood work, cholesterol screening, diabetes screening, or other relevant screenings. These tests help evaluate your health and identify any underlying issues.

  • Immunizations

    Your provider will review your immunization status and recommend any necessary vaccines to keep your immune system protected.

  • Health Counseling

    Your care team will provide personalized advice and guidance on healthy lifestyle choices, such as nutrition, exercise, stress management, and preventive measures based on your specific needs.

It is generally recommended that you have a yearly physical exam and follow up - even if you feel healthy.

The frequency may vary based on your age, medical history, and individual needs. Your doctor will provide guidance on the ideal schedule for you.
